@JedMorfit: "My work explores, updates, and subverts the history of figurative and decorative sculpture to better reflect contemporary experience. While the detailed rendering, flat colors, and polished surfaced may reference the aesthetics of architectural plaster, Wedgwood pottery, gutta-percha cameos, or marble busts, the content is decidedly less genteel. In my sculpture, these cultural signifiers of wealth and good taste are infiltrated by images of cartoon violence, frenzied consumption, and clenched anxiety. This contradictory territory; where beautiful images and carefully constructed surfaces conceal desperate realities, is central to in world I inhabit, and (in response) reflected in what I create." #contemporaryart #jedmorfit #jedediahmorfit source: @paradigmgs #beautyofsculpture #modernart #contemporarysculpture #surreal #gamewithheros #eveningmood (at Lucca, Italy)
