SUMMARY:Exhibition: Pink Training Wheels by artist Jenna Lou
DESCRIPTION:Jenna Lou is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice encompasses oil painting and performance videography. Raised in the Driftless Region of Iowa\, she maintains a profound reverence for the area's distinctive topography. She earned her BFA from the University of Northern Iowa in 2023 and currently contributes to the Cedar Rapids community through art-related programming. Lou produces her work in a greenhouse adjoining her home\, where she engages with themes of girlhood\, Midwest nostalgia\, and the natural environment. Her art-making draws upon family photographs and videos\, investigating how she was socialized to perform femininity. Like learning to ride a bicycle\, femininity is portrayed as a learned practice. Both imparted by her family and personally embraced. Through painting self-portraits inspired by archival photographs\, re-editing family footage\, and performing in public spaces\, Lou interrogates the tension between societal expectations and individual autonomy\, revealing the nuanced interplay of choice\, memory\, and identity.
