2012 SEASON OPENING AND ARTIST RECEPTION FOR JEREMY WAGNER AND JENNIFER DELILAH, with a preview of work by other artists to be shown through October 15th, 2012
Jennifer Delilah lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Born in Texas in 1965, her early childhood experiences in the wake of the Civil Rights Movement have formed the basis of her subject matter, challenging ideas of race, class and gender. Humor is an evident ingredient in her work, as well as a compassionate view of the foibles of humanity, and it's inevitable correction by nature.
Delilah's technique evolved through a process of experimentation and technical study in the mediums of oils, encaustics, and watercolor. The narrative quality of her paintings derives from this multi-disciplinary practice, and can be read as historical documentation and re-contextualization of events in world history. She attended the Arts Magnet High School in Dallas Texas, with an emphasis on figure drawing and painting, and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the San Francisco Art Institute.
Jeremy Wagner is an artist living and working in Brooklyn, New York. Born in 1978, in Boston MA. Wagner earned a BFA in printmaking from Rhode Island School of Design and subsequently an MFA in painting from Hunter College. Wagner’s work combines his training in both concentrations, facilitating a unique approach to painting. Often working directly on steel surface and using non-traditional mediums, he embodies his appreciation for architecture and nature with a keen eye for detail.
Preview works by Mariana Cook, Rez Williams, Cindy Kane, Doug Kent, Dan van Landingham, Robert JP Hauck, Andrea Mary Marshall, Jiyoung Park, Valerie Sonnenthal, David Tierney, Lily Morris and others.

Jennifer Delilah Paints the Album Cover Art for Edie Brickell and Steve Gadd's New Band Project, the Gaddabouts
December 2010
The Gaddabouts forthcoming album, to be released in January 2011, will feature New York based contemporary artist Jennifer Delilah's painting of a 1940's style radio, with the name of the band set photo-realistically into its face, and floating weightlessly among the clouds in a blue sky.
The concept for the painting came about when Edie Brickell asked former High School classmate Jennifer Delilah to design a logo for the band. The logo was quickly promoted to album cover when images of the painting in progress were sent to Edie. The classic radio design hints at the many musical influences and genres that the band of veteran musicians brings to the project. Along with prolific singer songwriter Edie Brickell, the band is headed by Music Industry Icon and drummer Steve Gadd, with legendary bassist Pino Palladino and renowned guitarist Andy Fairweather-Low.
Delilah created a concept and painting that were immediately embraced by the band as the perfect image for their cover art. Says Brickell, “Jennifer Delilah caught my eye with the incredible skill and imagination of her work. I purchased two of her paintings and commissioned her to do a larger version one of those, because I loved the imagery so much and felt it inspired my creativity. It hangs in my studio right over my piano. When the Gaddabouts were finishing the record and cover concepts were needed, Jennifer Delilah was the first person I asked to come up with an idea. Her radio image was simple, bold, very clever and the whole band loved it! It's the perfect cover.”
While she considers herself primarily a fine artist, this design project offered an interesting challenge to Delilah. “While I have done album covers in the past, this is the first that allowed me to do what I do best. It felt natural and at the same time really pushed my creative and technical boundaries. Working on this project has been an expansive experience for me, it has really opened up new possibilities.”
The group's forthcoming debut will be released January 2011 and is composed of material written by Brickell over the past decade as well as songs written with the band in the studio the very day of recording. In celebration of the project, the group will make their live debut at Carnegie's Zankel Hall as part of the WFUV concert series in April 2011.
