"My paintings have a certain familiar appeal: pretty colors, beautiful women in what might appear to be seductive scenarios. But they’re also Trojan horses in a way; you’re drawn in and you expect to be able to interact with the subjects of the painting in the familiar modern or premodern way, but then when you actually begin to see what’s depicted, you have to address issues of agency, consent, and the relationship between the artist and viewer." —Jenna Gribbon
