Jonas Wood’s two dual portraits, Self Portrait with Momo and Rosy In My Room With His Cat, are paired together for this exhibition as they underscore the value of close familial bonds across generations. Both works are set in the same space, based on a polaroid Wood took of his childhood bedroom in the 90s, and both depict members of the artist’s family--namely his daughter, Momo, and his grandfather, Israel J. Rosefsky (Rosy). Done in 2014, when his daughter was four years old, Self Portrait with Momo depicts the artist holding his daughter when she was an infant while he wears an anachronous green beaded necklace that Momo made and gave him several years later. Frequently returning to themes or settings used in older works, but filling the scenes with new characters, Wood painted Rosy In My Room With His Cat two years after this in 2016. Wood often describes how important his grandfather was in his life, and so, through the act of replacing himself with Rosy, he establishes this link in his art as well.
