The gist of
Jeff Ono’s most recent sculpture, ‘03-6, remains in keeping with his earlier conceptual explorations on and in the coming together of differing abstracted systems. For me, what differs with these new ones, is that they are more honed into the particularities of a subject matter, an increase in humor, and the gush of the baroque. As usual, the reality of their refined execution remains apparent though it’s never persnickety. Ono’s muted sickly colors badly skim flat Mobius strip roller coastering curvilinear forms that are exalted by their suggestive couplings or through their sporting of incongruous growths and/or expulsions, intrusions. They are more so poised personalities than architected. “At the intersection of two differing systems there is a usually a disruption, often violent and sudden in nature (hiccup, sneeze, orgasm, coronary failure), or occasionally slow and deliberate (tumor, virus). My work functions not as a metaphor for the body, but rather uses metonymy--visual signs built around the illuminations and limitations which describe the body.”
Jeff Ono was born in 1973 in Los Angeles, where he currently resides. He attended Cooper Union School of Art in NYC between 1991-94 and was the 2004 recipient of a Penny McCall Award.
