Timeline

1984

Jennifer Packer (born 1984) is a contemporary American painter and educator based in New York City.

Packer's subject matter includes political portraits, interior scenes, and still life featuring contemporary Black American experiences.

She paints portraits of contemporaries, funerary flower arrangements, and other subjects through close observation.

Primarily working in oil paint, her style uses loose, improvisational brush strokes, and a limited color palette.

Packer was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

2007

She attended Tyler School of Art and Architecture at Temple University where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2007.

2012

In 2012, she graduated from Yale University with a Master of Fine Arts in painting and printmaking.

After completing her MFA, Packer moved to the Bronx, and later became an assistant professor in the painting department at Rhode Island School of Design.

Packer has been inspired by social justice movements, which can be seen through her floral work representing institutional violence against Black Americans and the resulting grief.

For her portraits, she depicts friends and family in an intimate style that is meant to avoid a straightforward reading.

In 2012–2013, Packer was an Artist-in-Residence at The Studio Museum in Harlem, and from 2014 to 2016, a Visual Arts Fellow at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

2013

In 2013, she made art featuring body parts such as fingers, knees, and protruding jaw lines of straining bodies emerging from the haze, an example of which is Lost In Translation.

In 2013, Packer was awarded the Rema Hort Mann Grant.

2017

In 2017, Transfiguration (He's No Saint) shows a young African-American man wearing glasses with two raised arms.

The majority of his body is rendered dramatically in brilliant yellow, red, and green.

This work represents the prevention of a stop and search of a Black man by police.

Circular parts on his flesh signify the marks of stigmata.

The figure's eyes are half closed, indicating loss of what he is or expects out of the world.

In some of her 2017 artwork, she aimed to achieve contrast and depth.

Say Her Name, a flower oil canvas piece, is another example, created as a growing flower drawn like a forest.

According to a video interview, in most of her early works she decides to create a memento, a slight reference in her artwork to a past artist she was either inspired by or had similar real-life goals in art.

Packer tends to draw most human figures with realistic details.

Packer paints expressionist portraits, interior scenes, and still life.

She is interested in authenticity, encounters, and exchanges in relation to her painting practice.

The models for her portraits are often friends or family members.

2019

It intends to resemble Ferdinand Holder's 19th century deathbed art pieces.

She was included in the 2019 traveling exhibition Young, Gifted, and Black: The Lumpkin-Boccuzzi Family Collection of Contemporary Art.

2020

The Mind Is Its Own Place (2020) shows a level of depression and complexity of the human mind within her work through a limited palette in a charcoal drawing.

Packer's subjects are African Americans, and her themes center around oneness.

Her art is political, recognizing the social discord all people witness or are affected by in this generation.

Despite her art not focusing on the entirety of social injustice, it does bring awareness to inequality within the United States.

Visually Impaired is one of her early works which expresses realization and abstraction.

In her 2020 exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery in London, her expressionistic paintings were all oils on canvas.

Blessed Are Those Who Mourn (Breonna! Breonna!) shows her reaction to the killing of Breonna Taylor.

A painting of flowers, a traditional form of still life, was used in Say Her Name to reference the death of Sandra Bland.

Other portraits indicate inspiration from western sources as diverse as Henri Matisse and Caravaggio as well as Americans Kerry James Marshall and Philip Guston.

In 2020, she won the Hermitage Greenfield Prize, which included a commission to produce a new work that will premiere in 2022 at the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, Florida.

Packer also won the Rome Prize in 2020 from the American Academy in Rome and was a Rome Prize Fellow from January 11–August 6, 2021.
