SUMMARY:Gallery Night: "Dreamhouse" by Jessie Reyna
DESCRIPTION:Saul Alexander Gallery at Main Library- Come check out August's 
 gallery artist\, Jessie Reyna\, for their exhibition "Dreamhouse". The 
 Exhibit will be available to visit from August1st - August 31st.\n\n 
 \n\nArtist's Statement: After finally watching the much anticipated film 
 Barbie\, I was struck by the chilling monologue by America Ferrera as she 
 passionately explains to Barbie the expectations and contradictions of 
 being a woman in today's society. While dissecting her speech\, this body 
 of work will dive deep into the color pink in contrast with many other 
 colors and subjects. This is to explore the perceptions of femininity\, and 
 reflect on the stigma associated with women embracing their feminine side. 
 Over the last few years\, I've incorporated a lot of pink into my work\, 
 and have found that the color itself results in a strong reaction from 
 viewers\, both positive and negative. For those who express their dislike 
 for the color\, it is typically described as "too girly"\, which is often 
 scoffed at and seen as less than\, much like the initial reactions to the 
 announcement of the movie Barbie. This exhibit will ask all of the 
 important questions: Why does the color pink have such a harsh audience\, 
 and why is it not taken seriously? My hope is to reclaim the vibrant color 
 to show it also represents confidence and power\, and to celebrate 
 femininity by exploring the world of a Dreamhouse. \n\n\n\nI'm currently a 
 studio artist at Public Works Art Center in Summerville\, and have 
 participated in various group exhibitions around the Charleston area. You 
 can find my work at several locations such as The Station Park Circle\, Two 
 Cumberland\, Southern Ruetz\, The Charleston City Night Market\, and The 
 Paper Canopy.
