Jenny Brosinski Epeios (no one bent his knees again), 2026
269 x 259 x 6 cm (framed)
Jenny Brosinski’s Epeios (no one bent his knees again) is executed on canvas in oil, oil stick, acrylic, fabric and glue. Against the largely exposed ground of the unprimed canvas, white gestures traverse a concentrated arrangement of orange, green and pale rose marks, intersecting with a small rectangle of fabric attached to the surface. Broad yellow passages extend across the upper-right section of the composition, echoed by a vertical yellow mark below.
The title refers to the figure Epeios, a figure from Greek mythology that is known as the craftsman who built the wooden horse of Troy, as told in Homer’s Odyssey.
