Paul Kopeikin Gallery - Jill Greenberg

An art show of portraits of children in pain.

Following her enormously successful series ‘Monkey Portraits’, which debuted in October 2004, Jill Greenberg’s new work takes a more serious turn and has already hit a national nerve . “End Times” combines beautiful, poignant imagery, impeccably executed, with both political and personal relevance. Greenberg’s subject is taboo: children in pain. She utilizes this uncomfortable image as a way to break through to the pop mainstream and begin a national dialogue. Jill Greenberg’s images are sharp and saturated, stunning and quirky; her work is soaked with realism and imagination.

I also heard that the children were made to cry by giving them candy and then taking it away from them. Knowing that, I think it kind of changes the political aspect of the artwork =P
