Snow Cat Down is a show of eight drawings of exotic animals engaged in amazing interactions. A lion appears to be pinned down by a group of lemurs, a bat swoops a lemur as it rides an anteater and zebras relax in the company of cheetahs.
The strength of the show lies in Jenkinson’s drawing. The depth of blacks and contrasting fine lines that she achieves with the charcoal is exquisite. Her forte is definitely the rendering of skin as her drawings transform the surface of the paper into the downy luxury of spotted, striped and shaggy pelts, punctuated occasionally by hooves and claws.
This is an exhibition of excellent drawing brought together well in the clean and uncluttered space of Dianne Tanzer Gallery.
