Jessica Lichtenstein references the female body as a mechanism to explore deeper themes of power, female representation, fetishism, and objectification in a way that reminisces on youthful play and wonder, Lichtenstein’s work embodies the very paradox she is trying to explore. Her work consciously plays with the boundaries of power, commercialization, consumerism, fantasy, and propriety, provoking tensions that challenge the viewer to confront his or her own gaze.

Jessica Lichtenstein studied at Yale University and has exhibited at various international galleries and fair showings. Her work has received great recognition, including publications with Artnet News, Surface, The New York Post, and The New York Times.
