This week Kris Kuksi opened his fourth outstanding solo show Revival at Joshua Liner Gallery. From all of the pieces I have seen, Kris once again has created sculptures that are unbelievably ornate and captivating! Check out what the director Guillermo del Torro has to say about Kris Kuksi’s artistic expression:
“A postindustrial Rococo master, Kris Kuksi obsessively arranges characters and architecture with an exquisite sense of drama. Instead of stones and shells he uses screaming plastic soldiers, miniature engine blocks, towering spires and assorted debris to form his landscapes. The political, spiritual, and material conflict within these shrines is enacted under the calm gaze of remote deities and august statuary. Kuksi manages to evoke, at once, a sanctum and a mausoleum for our suffocated spirit.
Revival will be on view through January 18, 2014 and you can see many more pieces from the exhibition in this gallery.
