Bleicher/Golightly will present new works from Jessika Cardinahl in an upcoming show called Ascension.
Born and raised in Hamburg, Germany, Jessika established herself as a successful film actress and commercial model, though her education was in fine art and graphic design. Jessika creates large mixed media works on canvas and linen. The subject matter is typically landscapes and/or animals created with a vibrant array of colors.
“This artwork is about the journey of experiences, some fleeting, some lasting, some effusive, while other impressions may remain quite vague. It is this experiential journey I wish to unfold for my audience.” — Jessika Cardinahl

When: April 1, 2010 – April 15, 2010
Where: Bleicher/Golightly, 1431 Ocean Avenue, Santa Monica, CA 90401
