Jim Kempner Fine Art is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings by artist, Jessica Helfand.
The paintings imagine a diasporic community of Irish women; housekeepers and cooks, chambermaids and scullery maids, and laundresses who were employed, more than a century ago by a number of wealthy American families.
Combining research, photography, and speculative operations of artificial intelligence, their portraits reclaim -and reframe- a long-overlooked story of independence, perseverance, and selfhood.
