/ about.
JENEM (Jennifer Liza Hongo) is an Experimental artist residing in Tokyo, Japan.
Her art deals with physical, emotional, and spiritual transformation, and the beauty and intricacies of feeling.
Atmospheric and progressive in nature, her works encompass a realm whose subjects are shrouded in enigma. Marked by the presence of haunting entities, they inhabit an isolated void, at times surrendering themselves to it and giving way to abstraction.
Perhaps due to their experiences, they've found a way to adapt, persist, or peacefully-coexist.
She draws inspiration from cinematography and soundscapes, a background in fashion and modeling, as well as the human experience.
Active in the Tokyo art and nightlife scene, she has participated in live painting events such as Tokyo Love Hotels at Sankey's Penthouse, film and dance projects, and exhibited alongside local and international artists in “Transitions” at the ICA in Tokyo, Japan, 2019. In 2023 JENEM organized and exhibited in "Tokyo - DIVERGENCE" a group exhibition highlighting 9 emerging international artists and photographers in the Tokyo community. Her series "No Longer Part of the Landscape" , comprised of acrylic works on wood panel, were displayed at Tokyo - DIVERGENCE at Gallery Le DECO in Shibuya July 11-16 2023. Soon thereafter, from July 26-31 2023, she participated in the Harajuku group exhibition "Eunoia" at the gallery Studio CIEN. Her latest works produced for Eunoia introduced undulating shifts of pinks and crimson, brightened by the white void and entangled in black threads of shadow which creep into the works.
She works primarily in acrylic, sumi/watercolor, and digital terrain.
JENEM (Jennifer Liza Hongo) は、東京在住の実験芸術家です。
彼女の描く作品は、肉体的な、或いは感情的、精神的な変容、複雑な美的感情について扱っています。
作品内に存在感を示す「人々」は、孤立した空虚な空間に生息し、時にはそれに身を委ね、抽象的な表現に身を任せています。
「人々」は、出来事（作品として存在することも含め）を持続し、平穏に共存しています。
Jennifer Liza Hongoは、映像作品やサウンドスケープ、ファッションやモデルの経験、そしてそれらに携わる人々との経験からインスピレーションを受けています。
東京のアートとナイトライフのシーンで活躍する彼女は、Sankey's Penthouseで開催された「Tokyo Love Hotels」などのライブペインティングイベントや、映画やダンスのプロジェクトに参加し、2019年に東京のICAで開催された「Transitions」では国内外のアーティストと共に展示を行いました。
主にアクリル絵の具、墨、水彩、デジタルテレインで制作しています。
