Interview with Jen mann about her show other sister at Arsenal contemporary

"The Self Practice" is a short documentary, looking at the process behind Jen Mann’s artworks; colorful and vibrant oil paintings which delve into the deep questions of life as she explores the idea of self and identity. Watch Mann’s process, and hear her thoughts, as she prepares for, and completes her series "Q&A", a solo show at Toronto’s Neubacher Shor Contemporary. "the artist is always asking for someone to love them...they are saying, look at my work and you will know me, like… the true me."- Mann You can find out more about Mann here: http://www.JenMann.com Director/ Cinematographer Cameron Bryson : http://www.cameronbryson.com Music courtesy of Joanne Pollock (http://www.joannepollock.bandcamp.com) sponsors: http://www.faux-cadres.com/en http://www.gamblincolors.com/ http://www.princetonbrush.com/ http://www.pacart.ca/home.shtml

Painter Jen Mann's massive light-infused portraits are inspired by colour, curiosity and personal interactions. »Subscribe to CBC Arts to watch more videos: http://bit.ly/CBCArtsSubscribe Jen Mann has been painting portraits of her partner's face, over and over. It might feel like she's searching for something in his features, and she kind of is: "You don't understand even the people you're closest to." So the images of the object of her love are often obscured, blurred or, in the case of Moon, inaccessible — except if you use your phone. (More on that in the video.) These hyperreal portraits are the signature of Mann's work — light hits skin in the most vivid and almost palpable way, and faces take shape through her use of super-saturated hues. Colour is as much a subject of her work as people — she even writes poetry about individual tints. In this video, you'll join Mann in her studio as she explains how colour, curiosity and very personal interactions function together in her work. She says: "I use it the way that I see it, but somebody else is going to see it differently, and that's just emphasizing this idea that we don't really understand each other." And you'll find out why her painting Moon is going to require pressing a few buttons to really see.
