Jen DeNike

Efraín López proudly presents Many Moons, a solo exhibition featuring new works by Jen DeNike. This exhibition marks her first collaboration with the gallery and follows the premiere of her film, Prelude at The Museum of Modern Art. The exhibition features a time-based sculptural installation of concrete bowls, video, and sound, presented alongside her first large scale painted collage. Together these works explore layered materiality and evoke both physical and ephemeral feminine embodiments of the moon.
