🌙 Join us Tues. Nov. 18 for a lecture by visiting artist Yashua Klos
🕔 6:15 PM |📍Fine Arts B 105 (FAB 105)
In his multi-media practice, Yashua Klos explores themes of identity, memory, and African Americans' relationship to American labor. His large-scale works are created from the intricate formation of woodblock prints, representing ideas of Blackness through multi-dimensional, fragmented compositions. Unlike traditional collage arranged from ready-made source material, Klos creates all his collage material through woodblock printing and monotypes. His work reimagines humans as an alchemical beings, surviving and existing within intertwined networks of history, myth, and lived reality.
Yashua Klos (b. 1977, Chicago, IL) received a BFA from Northern Illinois University in DeKalb (2000) and an MFA from Hunter College, City University of New York (2009), both in Fine Art. Recent exhibitions include "Building Our Being" at Zidoun Bossuyt, Paris, FR (2023) and the major solo show "Yashua Klos: OUR LABOUR" at the Wellin Museum of Art at Hamilton College, Clinton, NY (2022) curated by Tracy L. Adler, and "Yashua Klos: OUR LIVING" at Center for Maine Contemporary Art, Rockland, ME (2022).
