JANE GOREN has exhibited extensively throughout the United States and internationally as a veteran of the New York and Los Angeles art scenes for the past thirty years. Working in two and three dimensional forms, and with a variety of materials, Goren's work examines themes of disorientation, voyeurism and eroticism, and she often works with discarded materials, raising issues of materialism and relative value. Goren has lived and worked in Rio de Janeiro, Berlin and Hangzhou, China and she maintains studios in Los Angeles and Telluride, Colorado. Her work has been included in such public collections as Mercedes-Benz, the national Public Library, the LAUSD Child Abuse Prevention office. The seriousness of her work is frequently punctuated with a visual pun. She is greatly influenced by cultural diversity which she seeks out in her travels.

"Here, I am working in tar on canvas. Tar is the heaviest byproduct in the refining process of oil, a fossil fuel, and is what lurks below the surface...It addresses the issue of life and death Many of my images are a metaphor for transition and the duality of life and death, as well as our survival in an edgy world. Some artists, through their work, try to find the meaning of life. As for me, I don’t care what it means....I just want to keep it going!
