Jenna Gribbon, born in 1978, in Knoxville, Tennessee, is a painter who explores themes of intimacy, the representation of the body, and queer desire. Her works delve into the objectification often associated with nudity, particularly that of women, and seek to deconstruct these conventional perspectives through strong and intimate portraits.

The representations she creates of her loved ones, and more specifically of her partner, highlight the dynamic between the private and the public, while questioning how these moments are perceived by others. Gribbon aims to renew the vision of queer eroticism, involving a celebration of female desire and expressing the profound joy of a strong physical bond.

Through her work, Gribbon not only captures the essence of personal and intimate details; she also engages in a broader dialogue about identity, visibility, and societal norms. The artist uses her art to question and often challenge established structures of power and perception, making her works a powerful vehicle for cultural discussion and reflection.
