Jennings work is noticeable for its colorful and sometimes complex, painted dots as well as astral forms. One series of pieces featured women beating up men and was apparently inspired by reading about Celtic and Amazon women. When inspiration failed, Jennings resorted to a favorite trick of pressing his fingers against closed eyes. Calling himself the “sun, moon and star artist,” he frequently incorporated these symbols within his work as well as included them with his signature.

Good condition.
