R. Allen Jensen Exhibition "Sweeter for It" to Showcase 43 Rare, Unseen Art Pieces

The art world is set to witness a remarkable event with the exhibition "Sweeter for It," featuring 43 rare and unseen pieces by the late R. Allen Jensen. Scheduled for August 9 and 10, 2025, at Blackwall Studios in Stanwood, WA, this exhibition promises to be a profound meditation on the inevitability of death, portrayed not as a fear but as a companion to life. Jensen's work, known for its bold inquiry and exquisite craftsmanship, invites viewers to confront their own mortality with beauty and honesty.

In an era marked by global challenges, Jensen's art resonates deeply, prompting reflections on how to live fully in the face of life's impermanence. The exhibition, curated by Susanna "Z" Mantis, Jensen's widow, is not only a celebration of his legacy but also a benefit for The R. Allen Jensen Foundation. Fifty percent of the proceeds will support students and artists in need of workspace to create, continuing Jensen's commitment to nurturing artistic talent.

Located at 5815 Pioneer Highway, Stanwood, WA, the exhibition will be open from 1:00 to 4:30 PM on both days. An exclusive preview hosted by the Tafoyas, showcasing the largest private collection of Jensen's work, will take place on August 8, offering a unique opportunity for early viewing. This event underscores the enduring impact of Jensen's vision and the collective desire to engage with art that challenges and inspires.
