The gallery talks about the diverse output from the artist currently: “In recent years, he has gained much acclaim from fine art communities worldwide for his work in mediums other than skin, including intricately carved sculptures made out of US currency, a series of watercolor paintings based on his experiences during a 6 week stay in a maximum security prison in Mexico City, and graphite drawings done on the insides of eggshells,” a statement says. “Campbell has only shown in galleries for a few years, but his work is already seen in some of the most revered collections and museums worldwide including a solo exhibition at the Garage Museum in Moscow, Russia.”

Preview: Kris Kuksi’s “Antiquity in the Faux” at Mark Moore Gallery

While Kris Kuksi's baroque assemblages (first covered in HF Vol. 19) have an ornate aesthetic suited for marble or gilded bronze, his work is composed of carefully-chosen collections of commonplace, throwaway objects. Kuksi assembles dolls, jewelry, model parts and various consumerist debris into monumental dioramas. Within them, his characters are embroiled in a chaotic drama of violence and sex, which Kuksi carefully contains into symmetrical, harmonious compositions that appear deceptively decorative at a first glance. The Kansas-based artist will be showing his new body of work for his solo show, "Antiquity in the Faux," opening at Mark Moore Gallery in Los Angeles on November 15.

Katharine Morling Creates Illusion of Drawing with Ceramic Sculptures

Katharine Morling's monochromatic ceramic sculptures carefully utilize black lines to create the illusion of two-dimensionality. Morling sculpts mundane objects out of a brittle, white clay, laying them out like still lifes that resemble ballpoint pen doodles on paper. The doodle-like quality is an important aspect of the work. Morling isn't interested in building ceramic replicas of cameras or typewriters: Instead, she reinterprets them with her hands and her imagination, inviting us to consider how the objects that surround us shape our thinking.

From the Archives: An Interview with Jessica Joslin by J.L. Schnabel

Jessica Joslin is the creatrix of a curious menagerie of hybird creatures, composed of a varied anatomy of bone, glass, leather and metal, meticulously assembled to look like real specimens. Her work recalls a sense of the Victorian era's obsession with detail and death and yet retains a playfulness attributed to circus shows of trained animals performing gravity defying feats. Hi-Fructose was recently able to interview the artist, take a look at her intriguing responses after the jump.

Sculptor Sophie Ryder Opens Her Spellbinding Studio to the Public

One look at artist Sophie Ryder's hybrid animal sculptures and you'll be whisked away into some mystical world. "I sculpt characters and beings- the dogs, the hares, the minotaurs... are all characters beyond animal form. I am not interested in making a replica," she has said. The charming and remote cottage where she makes her work, featured here, is not far off from the fantasy that it creates. Ryder's studio is located in the countryside of Colin Valley in the Gloucestershire Cotswolds, England, a beautiful but isolated place that rarely sees visitors. On November 20th, she will open her cottage up to the public for a rare showing of her works, including sculpture, plaster works, drawings, among other pieces.
