John John Jesse “American Dreamer”

Opera Gallery New York presents John John Jesse’s American Dreamer through May 2, 2011. Images of punk rock subculture are depicted through portraits and surreal landscapes of young rebellious girls and boys, where elaborate dream-like narratives of demons and angst are combined with experimentation and sexual discoveries. Jesse shows what innocence should be, and what it tragically often becomes, portraying a conviction that speaks to generations.
