We are excited to announce artist Jen DeLuna's first solo show in Boston at LaiSun Keane. The Boston-based artist holds a BFA from Carnegie Mellon University (Pittsburgh, PA) and has previously exhibited in numerous galleries in New York, including her recent solo debut at Storage in TriBeCa. Most recently, DeLuna's works were included in the NADA Miami 2024 group exhibition for Storage. DeLuna's provocative solo exhibition at LaiSun Keane will feature all new works as the artist continues her exploration of feminine viscerality and vulnerability within the painting genre.

Press release
LaiSun Keane is proud to present Filipino and Colombian-American artist Jen DeLuna: Bite Of The Bitch, on view from February 21st to March 30th, 2025. 
 
In Jen DeLuna’s first solo show in Boston, the artist gestures toward the subversive, juxtaposing graceful feminine forms with gnashing canine teeth and uncanny still-life. This exhibition expands upon DeLuna’s established oeuvre; with each new piece, she contributes to a vast, otherworldly universe in which Lovers’ eyes gaze watchfully from the wall and faces are cast in perpetual states of blurred motion. 
 
DeLuna’s paintings subtly reference mythology, literature, and Baroque sculptural forms, captivating the viewer with myriad nods to ancient and contemporary inspirations. The parted lips of One Moment recall the expression frozen on Bernini’s Saint Teresa, while High Pressure, First Bite, and the disembodied eyes allude to sources ranging from the myth of Medusa and Freud’s writings on castration anxiety to more recent works, such as Barbara Creed’s The Monstrous-Feminine and Rachel Yoder’s Nightbitch. DeLuna delicately paints the narrative of female vulnerability, while simultaneously reminding viewers of the more monstrous proclivities of her subjects. 
 
DeLuna (b. 1999) was born in Mobile, AL, received a BFA from Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA and now lives and works in Boston, MA. She has had numerous exhibitions in New York City including her successful 2024 solo debut at Storage Gallery in Tribeca, NY and NADA Miami, FL. Her works have received reviews from Yale Radio, Whitehot Magazine and Family Style. 
 
The public is invited to meet the artist at the Opening Reception on Friday, March 7, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and the Artist Talk on Saturday, March 8, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM.
