J. Fiber PIEROGI Brooklyn 14 March - 14 April, 2008 Opening Friday, 14 March. 7-9pm Click on thumbnails below to view larger images   World War Me J. Fiber is a dual personality, with a multi-faceted vision. The artists' work on paper will be exhibited for the first time at Pierogi. The drawings, made with poured acrylic, colored pencil, graphite and ink are small worlds, rife with drama and conflict. The child of a fireman and an abstract painter, Fiber is no stranger to passion and risk-taking. Ruggedly masculine passages bump against petite strings of flowers; turgid forms push into bosomy mountains; and little boys with guns wear bows in their hair. Images of sex and violence are everywhere subverted by feminine decoration. J. Fiber describes the creative process as a curiously potent struggle between two sides of the self, where decision-making can be as fraught as an old married couple's argument over whose turn it is to do the dishes. J. Fiber is a collaborative drawing project of artists Jane Fine and James Esber. Jane Fine received a BA from Harvard University (Cambridge, MA) and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture (Skowhegan, ME). She is the recipient of a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship, and a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship. She has attended residencies at Yaddo (Saratoga Springs, NY), Cité Internationale des Artes (Paris, France), and Millay Colony for the Arts (Austerlitz, New York). James Esber received a BA from the Cleveland Institute of Art (OH) and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture (Skowhegan, ME). His work has been included in exhibitions such as Site Santa Fe's "Disparities and Deformations: Our Grotesque," curated by Robert Storr, and has attended residences at the Macdowell Colony (NH) and Yaddo (NY).
