There’s always something exciting going on in the big Dan and Vi McKinney Penguin Habitat in Africa Rocks, home to a large colony of African penguins. The spacious Penguin Beach features a cobblestone beach, a gigantic 200,000-gallon saltwater pool, nesting areas, and rockwork that mimics the granite boulders found at Boulders Beach in South Africa. 

Sparks Gallery is pleased to present a solo show by San Diego artist Jens Rossen. This exhibition, in partnership with Exclusive Collections Gallery, will showcase the artist’s newest body of work titled, “Segues.”

Born in Denmark, Jens Rossen is an expressionist painter whose paintings play on the viewers’ senses, transporting them into the realm of the sublime. Throughout his formative years, Rossen traveled back and forth from Denmark to California, resulting in a depth of influences manifesting itself within his own artwork.

“The obvious influences of de Kooning, Kline and even Pollock are melded together with his Scandinavian sensibility of naturalism so that a fresh new experience is to be found for the viewer in these welcoming, enlightening works of art” – Jamie Ellin Forbes
