FOLKERT DE JONG The Holy Land
MARCH 19 – APRIL 25, 2015
Opening Reception:  Thursday, March 19, 6 – 8 PM
 
James Cohan Gallery is pleased to announce The Holy Land, an exhibition of new works by Folkert de Jong, opening on March 19th and running through April 25th. A reception for the artist will be held on Thursday, March 19th from 6 – 8 PM.
 
Folkert de Jong is internationally recognized for figurative sculptures—executed in the inorganic industrial materials of Styrofoam and polyurethane—that mine issues of empire, trauma and myth. In 2012, De Jong made his first works in cast bronze, bringing experimentation and edge to the medium, as well as engaging in the history of the monument and public art.
