Jane Corrigan (b. 1980, Shawville, Quebec)
Jane Corrigan is a painter whose intimate, allegorical work registers transitional moments, interiority, and emotional turbulence through luminous, atmospheric figuration. Her canvases feature feminine or androgynous characters in ambiguous spaces—forest-gardens, bedrooms, shadowy landscapes—where memory, myth, and the uncanny merge. Corrigan’s paintings often evoke narrative tension: characters gesturing toward unseen events or pasts, encounters with wild creatures, whispers of violence, and the interplay of light and gesture.
Corrigan earned her BFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design (2003) and her MFA from the State University of New York, Purchase (2009). She also attended the Yale Norfolk Summer School of Art (2002).
Her solo exhibitions include Sea View (Los Angeles, 2024), Galerie Antoine Ertaskiran (Montreal, 2019), Marinaro (New York), Feuer/Mesler (New York), Kerry Schuss (New York), and White Columns (New York). She has presented work in group shows at Galerie Antoine Ertaskiran, Sikkema Jenkins & Co., Karma, Wilkinson Gallery (London), Oakville Galleries (Ontario), and more.
Among her awards and recognitions, Corrigan received a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award (2013). Her residencies and fellowships have included the Marie Walsh Sharpe Studios (Brooklyn) and the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown.
Her work is held in public collections such as the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art (Kansas City). Corrigan currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
