December 6 - February 15
Join us for a spectacular December group exhibition of three internationally recognized, visionary artists. Kishka presents the work of Jessy Park, Edie Fake, and Jess Johnson. These three artists, working independently, have invented visual languages of profound connection. There is power in the way each artist has used a shared aesthetic to produce utterly unique bodies of work, and fascination in the bridges created from their radically different starting points. Come to our opening reception with seasonal refreshments - Friday, December 6, 5-8pm.
Jessy Park, a lifelong resident of Williamstown, MA, has been producing her incomparable artistic output for over 40 years. Park’s intricate works, held in museum collections, are fastidious and specific with an open quality that keeps the work gracefully subtle.
Edie Fake’s hyper-detailed paintings began as a parallel project to a successful career in comics. With radiating color, Fake’s work is celebrated for its formal qualities and thoughtful insights into issues of trans identity and “queer space” through the lens of architecture and ornamentation.
Jess Johnson brings to life a complex fictional world through hand-drawn images that are inspired by her interests in science fiction, comic books, technology, architecture, and theories of consciousness. Her drawing practice feeds into installations and collaborations in animation, music, fashion, virtual reality,and textile art. These additional mediums bring the world of her drawings into physical and virtual spaces, providing immersive experiences for audiences.
