This June we invite you to join us as we bear witness to a massive outpouring of new work by Long Beach artist- Jeremy Cross
In scale alone, this show was a huge undertaking and in theme, no less so.
Described by the artist as “an examination 0n moral anarchy” the themes here jump fluidly from sexuality to religion, mortality to indulgence. From humorous irony to out right assault on the moral standard.
Consisting of over 40 new pieces, “DEGENERATE”, is a beastly chimera of techniques and materials.
Including new paintings, pyrography, assemblage sculpture, collage, as well as an installation wall with a mounted head and an illuminated cross set inside the shadow of a spectral figure.
