Jasmine Monsegue's exhibition at CONTROL Gallery, 'Everything That Glitters,' showcases her evolution from a maximalist style to a minimalist approach, reflecting her roots in Afro-Caribbean and Latinx culture. The standout piece, 'The Pony,' addresses themes of sex work against a poignant backdrop of Memphis' desolation. Monsegue's exploration of cultural identity, particularly from Houston, and her ability to merge distinct aesthetics signify her growth as an artist. The exhibit is a celebration of the intersections of culture, art, and personal narrative, demonstrating how deeply embedded her experiences are in her works.
This show now has moved Monsegue into a new territory, exploring dichotomies and becoming a storyteller while creating ghostly, haunting and mysterious works.
What makes this show at CONTROL so fascinating is how she adopts minimalism into some of her most effective works.
The Pony depicts an industry-known strip club in a desolate area of Memphis, Tennessee. The piece is haunting but enchanting.
This is Houston, the South, and LA all in one, a rowdy and underground look at car culture, lowbrow and DIY fashion.
