PPSTMM is quite happy to announce its inaugural public moment with an exhibition and performance from Edward Jeffrey Kriksciun. Opening Jan 12, 6-6pm.
Hours: by appointment
This group of two and three dimensional works are brought together under the title Mauve Fog. The foggy future of 2024 asks us to eschew the sentimental forecasting in favor of a glassy eye gaze into the question: “what’s next?” As a means of accessing the marbles in his mind Kriksciun has taken to rummaging in his memories for clues and cues, finding drawings that are un-singed from the candlelit sepia, and yet do share in an overall achromatic vibe.
Edward Jeffrey Kriksciun's lifelong creative pursuits of skating, drawing, music, and hanging out have led to an enigmatic style filled with colorful gestures, formal puns, and sly observation on his own presence in the world. Colorful, reverent, and cagy, the images seek recognition, empathy, and a smile. His works have been featured in Portland venus such as Lowell, Nationale, Free Spirit News Car Hole, Half & Half, Holocene, and many others, as well as Printed Matter, NYC, Big Medium, Austin, TX and can be found in his publications: Fragile Jazz, Pretty Ugly, and Ngôi Dánh Hoang,
