#12 - Artist Showcase - Jeremy Greenberg
Jeremy Greenberg, the obsessive, artistic upholsterer, creates sculptures that, in his own words, “consist of elaborate and seductive objects which exaggerate traditional appeal, creating an obnoxious and elegant style.” His “eccentric self image” is part of the inspiration for creatively bizarre pieces, such as, “an abstract chair in the shape of a tongue or a series of symmetrically constructed arches resembling a rib cage with individual seats. It becomes furniture that functions better as an object of desire or entertainment then of conventional décor.”
Timothy Belknap describes it best in his 2005 MFA Thesis Exhibition Review, “Jeremy’s work is 93% perspiration, 6% electricity, 4% evaporation, and 2% upholstery” … which, by my math, adds up to 105% of awesome. Check out more of Jeremy’s work at: www.JeremyJGreenberg.com
