Jenny Brosinski A hog, a headless bear, sometime fire. II, 2026

Jenny Brosinski’s A hog, a headless near, sometime fire. II, executed in oil and oil stick on linen, centers on a dense dark-green form overlaid with loose, pale pink lines and accompanied by an accumulation of irregular white strokes to the right. The letters “FAM” appear in white near the lower center of the unprimed linen, above an ochre-brown band of broad, semi-translucent strokes running along the lower edge.
Drawing on the artist’s experience in nature while spending time around her country house in Blankensee, the work also references William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream in its title. The passage referred to is linked to the character Puck, a mischievous sprite that takes on various animal forms to fool others.
