Ballet Slippers Print

Limited edition fine art Giclée print, created by Jenna Elsby-Bennett, 2024.

 

Ballet Slippers is part of the “To Look For America” Collection. A series of paintings inspired by Jenna’s lifelong love affair with vintage Americana and the colourful characters that emerged from American culture in the 1970s. Artists, rogues, poets, muses, cowboys, dreamers and dancers - the collection is united by a sense of longing, of breaking free from the confines of society in search of something new, of something dangerously exciting - whether it be an unexplored open place (“Wyoming”) or simply a new pair of shoes (“Ballet Slippers”).

 

Ballet Slippers, is based on a series of polaroids taken by Andy Warhol in the peak of the Studio 54 era in the 1970’s.
