Jane Corrigan (b.1980, Shawville, Quebec) is a painter based in Brooklyn, New York. Corrigan’s subject matter often comprises feminine or androgynous figures grappling with an internal and external world that, like them, is rapidly changing. Inspired by the works of Honore Daumier, Francisco Goya, and Balthus, Corrigan’s atmospheric impasto paintings explore the development of a certain character on a journey towards independence over several compositions. Interactions with ghosts, wild creatures, boundless nature, insolent classmates and enveloping darkness allude to underlying fears and anxieties. Despite all this, the paintings appear enchanted, summoning the timeless narratives of fairy tales and epic myths.

Jane Corrigan has had solo exhibitions at Sea View, Los Angeles, CA (2024); Galerie Antoine Ertaskiran (2019); Marinaro, New York, NY (2018); Feuer/Mesler, New York, NY (2016); Kerry Schuss, New York, NY (2014); and White Columns, New York, NY (2012). Select group exhibitions include Fierman, New York, NY (2020); Gaa Gallery, Provincetown, MA (2020); Marinaro, New York, NY (2019); Franklin Parrasch Gallery, New York, NY (2018); Carbon 12, Dubai, UAE (2018); KARMA, New York, NY (2016); and Sikkema Jenkins & Co, New York, NY (2013). Corrigan will be included in a forthcoming group exhibition at James Cohan Gallery, New York, NY and a solo presentation at the Independent, New York, NY.
