VOLUPTUARY STUDIES Opening reception: January 17th 5:00pm-8:00pm Show run: January 16th - February 4th, 2019 ANDREW SOKOL "Voluptuary Studies is a collection of works by Andrew Sokol that are earnest in their superficiality. Swarovski crystals are stripped away from their context as embellishment of the human form, and transformed into minimal sculptures ideal for endless gazing. One by one, the artist places and heats each stone onto the surface , requiring a calm meditative state, eventually acting as the artist's own mandalas. Obsessed with both process and brand loyalty, Andrew draws from the mind state of voluptuaries by embodying a lifestyle that requires equal amounts of dedication and play." _____________________________________________________________ |
