.- Jennifer Packer: Every Shut Eye Aint Sleep, the artists West Coast debut, features 25 new and recent works on view at MOCA Grand Avenue through February 21, 2022, with free admission as part of MOCAs Art for All initiative. In recent years, Packer has received increasing acclaim for her intensely lyrical and emotionally nuanced portraits of friends and family members, as well as numerous floral paintings memorializing lives stopped by police violence. Rendered in virtuosic expressive style and layered intensity, Packers paintings and works on paper surface representations of intimacy, embodiment, and loss, and mark an important new direction in figurative painting.
