The dark surrealist sculptures and paintings of Jeremy Cross return in a new show at Dark Art Emporium, titled “Speaking In Ghosts.” Kicking off Saturday at the gallery, the recent works by the artist include his “Ghost Skull” series of busts.

“Jeremy Cross has been showing his work professionally in galleries across the country and abroad for over 12 years,” the gallery says. “Racking up an impressive resume of gallery affiliations and shows. … Unapologetically self taught, but with a crafted skill that clearly shows his dedication and work ethic, Jeremy has created a style that is not only unique but immediately recognizable as his.”

Chinese-born, London-based artist Jacky Tsai brings his fashion-world experience to his interdisciplinary art projects, which often fuse illustration, printmaking, sewing and sculpture. Tsai says that he is fueled by his contrasting experiences living in both Eastern and Western cultures. With his skull sculptures (or "Skullptures" as Tsai refers to them) and illustrations, the artist combines the morbid with the ornate. These symbols of death and decay become the sites of regeneration as flowers blossom on the skulls like moss — a juxtaposition Tsai uses as an antidote to his native culture's superstitions about death.
Raija Jokinen reassembles aspects of the human bodies with flax. The Finnish artist interweaves creatures and notes of nature into her recreations of our interior. Jokinen considers her work to exist at the "meeting point of the techniques in painting, graphic art, hand made paper and textile."
Canadian sculptor Troy Coulterman, first featured in Hi-Fructose Vol. 27, creates colorful and surprisingly illustrative figures. Working mostly with resin and steel painted with acrylic, Coulterman's works enhance the quirkiness of every day people. For his current exhibition at Arch Enemy Arts gallery in Philadelphia, "Full Disclosure", Coulterman attaches geometric shapes to his subjects. In his show statement, he explains the meaning behind these strange appendages: "I chose these basic shapes because they are loaded with symbolism and have various meanings throughout different cultures. A triangle can represent future, truth or intellect, a circle can represent present, perfection or emotion and a square can represent past, destiny or beauty. Depending on who the viewer is these shapes can hold different meanings and that's what drew them to me.”
