Jill Cunniff of Luscious Jackson

Lyric and Word Paintings
September 20-23 Exhibit Draws Hundreds
More Than a Dozen Paintings Sold

Next Show to be Announced

Luscious Jackson founding member Jill Cunniff’s first exhibition of original artwork, Lyric and Word Paintings, was a resounding success. Opening with a Thursday, September 20th acoustic show by Jill and friends, the exhibit lasted through Sunday, September 23rd at 198 Allen Street in New York City, drawing hundreds of people and selling more than a dozen paintings.

“Having an art show has been a dream of mine since I started painting as a teenager,” Jill commented. “The experience of performing music in this beautiful space full of art was seriously exciting! It was great to see and interact with all the people who came to the opening. I loved doing the Q and A during the concert, where I talked about the process of making art and how it relates to writing music. We ended up selling 14 paintings. I can’t wait to do another show when my next bunch of paintings are done.”

Lyric and Word Paintings was presented By PMM ART PROJECTS.

Details of Jill’s next exhibit will be announced as they are confirmed.

This week, Luscious Jackson founding member Jill Cunniff will celebrate her first exhibition of original artwork, Lyric and Word Paintings, in New York City. The exhibition will run from  Thursday, September 20th through Sunday, September 23rd at 198 Allen Street.

Kicking off this Thursday, September 20th from 7-10pm, the opening night event for Lyric and Word Paintings will include a one-night-only acoustic show by Jill and friends as they perform a set featuring songs from her solo album City Beach as well as the Luscious Jackson catalogue.

Commenting on the inspiration and process behind her paintings, Jill explained: “I’ve been painting my whole life. As a teenager, I used to paint and write songs kind of like a hand off, switching between the two over the course of an afternoon. I listen to music when I am doing artwork; it’s a big part of the process. I’m influenced by New York City’s streets and the posters and writings that pile up on top of each other, creating layers of color and text. I came of age in 1980s downtown NYC when graffiti and hip-hop met punk. Later, I was introduced to the work of Bay Area Figurative artists while studying painting at U.C. Berkeley, and their glowing landscapes also had a deep influence. So my paintings have elements that are both hectic and serene.”

Lyric and Word Paintings will be open through September 23rd during the following hours:
Friday & Saturday: 12-7pm
Sunday: 12-3pm

No ticket is required, the event is free!

Luscious Jackson will play its only show of 2016 in the borough that the band’s Jill Cunniff and Gabby Glaser call home. The triumphant roll that began with the 2013 release of the Magic Hour album continues with an October 14 date at the Bell House in Brooklyn.

The Bell House date is the latest news in the wake of the band’s Magic Hour album, released November 2013 on the band’s own City Song label. Magic Hour saw raves from ROLLING STONE (“Luscious Jackson were to New York freestyle dance pop what their cohorts the Beastie Boys were to hip-hop… Welcome back, ladies”), the ASSOCIATED PRESS (“Listening to Luscious Jackson… is like a night out hitting the clubs in New York City: a rock riff here, reggae grooves there, some sugary pop, and plenty of low end. All in all, a good time, and plenty eclectic”), and many more.

Luscious Jackson’s October 14 play along the Gowanus is the band’s first NYC area appearance since its 2015 appearance at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and will feature material from Magic Hour standing proudly alongside favorites spanning the beloved catalogue of In Search Of Manny, Natural Ingredients, Fever In Fever Out and Electric Honey. Luscious Jackson’s long awaited return to active duty has also included a November 18, 2013 appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, and rapturously received live shows in Philadelphia, New York City, San Francisco, Boston and Los Angeles—a show that had THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER raving that the band had “… returned to their youthful passion without losing a step… it is nice to have you back, ladies.”
