About

There is a metaphorical interplay between the natural imagery international artist, Jennyfer Stratman, uses and its multiple meanings. While the human figure features strongly, it is the essence of the body that is important to her, not the representation. Particularly, the artist imagines trees and branches as a figurative link between the natural environment and our physical presence. The implied internal landscape of the body can also be reflected in how our surroundings from birth affect our sense of identity. By exploring landscapes of the body and mind, she also hopes to comment on the larger picture of our impact on the natural world.

In the Graft series, the human figure is grafted onto a tree limb, juxtaposing an inherent interconnection and a renewed awareness of our place in nature.

This exquisite bronze sculpture is meant to be installed as a wall hanging that sits 2 inches away from the wall. As displayed, this sculpture measures 7.5 inches high and 21 inches wide. It is signed by Stratman on the front and back. Free local Los Angeles delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and International shipping available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.

Stratman grew up in Phoenix, Arizona. In 1992 she commenced her studies at Arizona State University majoring in visual arts and art education. Stratman entered academia as a ceramicist. With each passing semester, the scale of her creations expanded and the material limitations of working with clay ultimately led her to the university foundry. This opened a door into another world of creative possibilities, profoundly changing her artistic direction. She replaced fired clay with larger-scale bronze, steel, and mixed media sculptures yet retained a delicacy, intimacy, and intricacy imbued from the ceramic process.

Today she is a full-time established artist with studios operating in Phoenix, Arizona, and Melbourne, Australia. Her time is divided between the two countries with each location informing and influencing the creative process. She has exhibited in 31 solo exhibitions and over 100 group exhibitions nationally and internationally. Her indoor and outdoor sculptures are held in public and private collections in countries including the United States, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Israel, England, and Europe.

Jennyfer Stratman

Jennyfer Stratman

Jennyfer Stratman's artistic journey, born amidst the sun-soaked landscapes of Phoenix, Arizona, has evolved into a profound exploration of form and substance, transcending the earthly confines of clay to embrace the resolute embrace of bronze, steel, and mixed media. Commencing her odyssey into the realm of visual arts and art education at Arizona State University in 1992, she first embraced the tactile allure of ceramics, only to traverse the vast expanse of creative horizons within the university foundry.

At the heart of Stratman's artistic lexicon lies a metaphorical interplay between nature's tableau and its myriad interpretations. The human figure, a recurring motif, transcends mere representation to embody the essence of corporeal existence. Within this thematic framework, trees and branches assume a figurative mantle, serving as conduits linking the natural world to our physical presence. The artist, with a visionary gaze, navigates the internal landscapes of body and mind, contemplating the profound interplay between our origins and the shaping of identity. With 33 solo exhibitions and over 100 group exhibitions on her illustrious resume, Stratman's artistic resonance reverberates nationally and internationally.
