Born in Lancashire, England, Graham Nickson attended the Royal College of Art, London in the late sixties. He was awarded the Prix de Rome scholarship in the early seventies and settled in New York in 1976. Since 1988 Graham Nickson has presided as the Dean of the New York Studio School. Salander-O'Reilly Galleries is pleased to present our inaugural exhibition of sculptures by Jilaine Jones. On view will be 4 sculptures ranging in scale from monumental pieces, to compact pedestal works.
All sculptures are of mixed media, plaster, wood and metal.
As an artist Jilaine Jones sees her sculptures as part of a total environment. Her sense of space is fluid. Instead of choosing one way, it is the merging of these dualities I am interested in. My intent is to stretch what might be understood as the boundaries of a situation and draw the viewer deep within the experience. The effect of Jones' sculpture is encompassing.
