The art world is set to witness a rare glimpse into the unseen works of R. Allen Jensen, a celebrated Pacific Northwest artist known for his bold exploration of life's most profound certainty: death. From August 9th to 10th, 2025, Blackwall Studios and Jensen's home in Stanwood, WA, will host an exhibition of 43 never-before-seen pieces by the artist. The event not only promises to be a significant cultural moment but also a fundraiser, with 50% of the proceeds going to The R. Allen Jensen Foundation, which supports students and artists in need of workspace.
Jensen's work, described as a fearless inquiry into the human condition, resonates deeply in today's world, marked by pandemic upheavals and natural disasters. His art invites viewers to confront death not as an end but as a companion, enriching the sweetness of life. This exhibition, curated by his widow Susanna Z Mantis, offers a unique opportunity to engage with Jensen's legacy and the questions his work raises about living fully in the face of mortality.
