| DAVE AND JENN - Statement |
![]() |
Dave and Jenn are the two wanderers depicted by artist's David Foy and Jennifer Saleik. Passing through landscapes that resemble those we may recognize from our own world, they observe a place in flux where humans are an after thought and the land is the main protagonist. Cheerful, frightening and often nonsensical the world of Dave and Jenn is like that place on the other side of the looking-glass. It reflects itself into our reality as we reflect back into it, crossing the boundaries and blurring the lines. David and Jennifer are very fond of exploring the outdoors. In their free time they like to tell stories to each other or play video games. They live and work in Calgary. Their cats, Samuel and Bridgit, live with them. Their practice is one of co-authorship. Within their practice they seek to investigate, transform and subvert traditional notions of landscape painting. With their work they attempt to situate themselves somewhere in the grey area that exists between historical documentation and personal mythology; adornment and nature; and try to find a place for painting somewhere in between it's traditional position on the wall and the point were sculpture takes over.
