Jonas Wood and Shio Kusaka: Blackwelder

Sculptor Shio Kusaka and painter Jonas Wood are exceptional contemporary artists whose works have been shown worldwide at group and solo exhibitions. The artists draw from personal memory and their shared existence as a married couple, his half-objective, half-fictional Los Angeles landscapes and still lifes set in their studio on Blackwelder Street; and her painted patterns that allude to their young daughter's fascination with dinosaurs. Their symbiotic works reveal the autobiographical roots and layers of cross-pollination that inspire their creation and are beautifully depicted within the pages of this new volume. Accompanied by a new essay by art critic and artist, Chris Wiley, the over 150 full-page color photographs highlight how the artists share influences and imagery but embark on autonomous explorations of their respective media.
