 Cap n Boy, 2008 Ink, Acrylic, Colored Pencil on Paper, 68.6 x 58.4 cm J. Fiber World War Me J. Fiber is a dual personality, with a multi-faceted vision. The artists' work on paper will be exhibited for the first time at Pierogi. The drawings, made with poured acrylic, colored pencil, graphite and ink are small worlds, rife with drama and conflict. The child of a fireman and an abstract painter, Fiber is no stranger to passion and risk-taking. Ruggedly masculine passages bump against petite strings of flowers; turgid forms push into bosomy mountains; and little boys with guns wear bows in their hair. Images of sex and violence are everywhere subverted by feminine decoration. J. Fiber describes the creative process as a curiously potent struggle between two sides of the self, where decision-making can be as fraught as an old married couple's argument over whose turn it is to do the dishes. J. Fiber is a collaborative drawing project of artists Jane Fine and James Esber.
