Neil Jenney is an American painter and sculptor born on November 6, 1945, in Torrington, Connecticut, and working in New York City.
[1] His early artwork focused on interior environmental sculpture, but he found that his paintings were more successful in generating sufficient income.
Mr. Jenney painted the pictures during the heyday of Conceptual Art, and if they were, in part, a rebuff to its disembodied verities, they also partook of its intellectual detachment."
His painting Here and There (1969), which depicts a white fence dividing a field of drippy, green brushstrokes, was in the 2004 exhibition The Undiscovered Country at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles.
[5] The artwork measures 25 by 112 inches (64 by 284 cm), and presents a horizontal slit-like closeup view of a tree trunk with a few delicate leaves.
