Jeannie Weissglass

Jeannie Weissglass’s work explores the intersection of history, urban textures, and personal narratives. Her paintings, layered over frayed, aged wallpapers, evoke a sense of time’s passage, transforming everyday urban surfaces into intimate, weathered landscapes. By applying and stripping back layers of paper, acrylic, and oil paint, Weissglass creates rich, textured compositions that speak to the physical and emotional wear of the world around us. Her use of peeling wallpaper and architectural details like doors reflects the passage of time and the fragility of memory.

​

The domestic realm is a central theme in Weissglass’s practice, particularly the complex emotions tied to home and intimacy. Her work delves into romantic entanglements, often bringing historical figures into contemporary, dreamlike scenarios. Through her playful yet poignant manipulation of imagery, she invites viewers to consider the personal and the universal, the mundane and the profound. Weissglass’s art is a meditation on the spaces we inhabit—both physical and emotional—and the marks time leaves on them.
