Jen Hitchings (b. 1988, New Jersey, USA) is a Burbank-based artist whose work depicts surreal, natural environs in monochromatic color and graphic quality. Her work investigates the tenuous relationship between humankind and nature, and in recent years, she has embarked on a self-reflective investigation of the psyche, relationships, erotic desire, and cosmic forces.
Hitchings holds a BFA in Painting & Drawing from SUNY Purchase College, a Certificate of Completion of Sotheby’s online certificate Art as a Global Business, and a certificate in Small Business & Entrepreneurship from CUNY Hunter College. She has had solo shows at Gaa, New York, NY; Anat Ebgi, Los Angeles, CA; Taymour Grahne Projects, London, UK, among others. Recent group exhibitions have taken place at Gaa, New York, NY; Mother Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; Anat Ebgi, Los Angeles, CA; Tiger Strikes Asteroid, LA; Ana Mas Projects, Barcelona, Spain; Geoffrey Young Gallery, Great Barrington, MA; Wassaic Project, Wassaic, NY; Newark International Liberty Airport, Newark, NJ; and Cindy Rucker, Pierogi, and Ideal Glass in New York, NY. In 2023, she was commissioned by Mailchimp to produce a 9 x 21’ indoor permanent office mural in Atlanta, GA. She received a Queens Council on the Arts’ New Works Grant in 2018. Between 2011–2020, Hitchings co-directed Transmitter and Associated Gallery and managed several contemporary and secondary market art galleries in NYC.
