From Spanky Stokes Dot Com: Jessica Joslin’s Stunning Circus Bird for ‘DECADE-1’ @ Varnish Fine Art 4/20!

News

Jessica Joslin has just put the final, tedious touches on her newest masterstroke of brass and bone: a circus bird, bound for Varnish Fine Art’s 10th anniversary group show, Decade-1. Teetering precariously on an old circus ball, the grand tail feathers and tiny wings of our ornately feathered friend seem to present more of a balancing obstacle than aid. An assemblage of precious discards uncovered in antique and taxidermy supply shops, flea markets and wherever she happens to find herself, Joslin’s creatures are an arresting blend of elegance and superior craftsmanship with the fantastical and strange. This piece is no exception and while specifics on the sculpt are being kept under wraps, all will be revealed at the opening next month.

A number of new and returning artists will also be showing alongside Joslin to celebrate Varnish’s first decade. They include: Jennybird Alcantara, Robert Bowen, Victor Castillo, Ron Garrigues, Brian Goggin, Chris Mars, Christian Rex van Minnen, Ransom & Mitchell, Rob Reger, Lee Harvey Roswell, Isabel Samaras, Lucien Shapiro and Chuck Sperry. Decade-1 opens April 20th through May 18th at Varnish Fine Art in San Francisco (16 Jessie Street, #C120, San Francisco, CA 94105).
