About the Exhibition
Artist reception for Cochin Chinoiserie: Friday, January 9, 5:30 - 7:30 pm
Locks Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new vases and paintings by Jane Irish, Cochin Chinoiserie. In her second exhibition at Locks Gallery, Jane Irish will show new vases - continuing to explore the politics and aftermath of the Vietnam War and the aesthetics of decadence. Irish will debut 10 new vases modeled after 18th- and 19th- century French Sevre porcelain which have images of Vietnamese landscapes and decorative detailing. These vases feature poetry by Vietnam Veterans and noted visual arts writers, such as Vincent Katz, Carter Ratcliff, and Tom Devaney. They will be seen against the backdrop of a large painting, incorporating protest imagery and rococo interiors - work for which the artist is known.
Sparkle & Glitter
