Join us Sunday, August 18th at 6:00pm for a slide talk by our two featured artists:
Jeffrey Kriksciun was raised in various stops around the country; as an adult he was based out of San Francisco, then Portland Oregon, and for the last five years he has lived and worked in Stockholm, Sweden. Working with any materials he comes across, Jeffrey is mostly self-taught, while taking art classes here and there along the way. He is currently focusing on self-publishing drawing zines and tattooing.
Jeffrey arrived August 11th, and will be in residence until September 2nd. Of his work he says:
"Life and everything that encompasses it, is weird.
Taboos, perversions, chaos, technology, simplicity, peace, love; it's hard to find an uninteresting subject.
Our thoughts are ancient. The way we process and interpret them remains a mystery. Primal instincts embedded in plastic.
Through my work, I try to bring to surface the absurdity in the mundane, highlighting ideas that make us who we are, good and bad. Creation as coping mechanism."
