Cassandra, 2019, resin and mixed media assemblage, 5 x 3 x 3 inches, in Plexiglas box, edition of 50
Joshua Liner Gallery is pleased to announce the release of Cassandra, 2019, the third figure released in an ongoing series of unique figurine works by Kris Kuksi. Cassandra, 2019, follows Claudius, 2017, and Augustus, 2018, both of which sold out quickly. Once again, the figures have a limited edition of 50.
While the central figure of the work is shared with each sculpture, the figures (Cassandra) are adorned and refined with individual and unique elements to create 50 unique sculptures that are each distinctly Kris Kuksi. This cursed figure, taken from Greek mythology, is modified and altered with Kuksi's signature assemblage technique to create a powerful female warrior. As always, Kuksi refers to familiar history and legend, though alters these understandings to create something new and surreal.
With these one-of-a-kind variations, no two works are alike. The figure is signed and numbered by the artist from a limited edition of 50, and will ship in a custom made Plexiglas display case. They will be shipped in "blind box" fashion for $650 including domestic shipping via Fedex, and $700 including international shipping.
