We recently had sculptor Kris Kuksi visit the Narwhal gallery space to do a book signing for his new monograph Divination and Delusion. In this beautiful book,  Kuksi’s intricate sculptures are rendered in immaculate detail, evoking a grandeur reminiscent of the Baroque era. These finely crafted sculptures employ images of Gods and Goddesses from past and present mythologies and examine religious belief and iconography. Despite the frequent portrayal of corruption, violence, chaos and degeneration, the works in this book challenge aspects of our beliefs and question whether or not humans have the ability to improve the world’s prosperity.

In addition to his new book, we were also able to display three of Kuksi’s original sculptures, including a recently completed piece that had never previously been exhibited to the public. We would like to extend a very big thank you to the collectors who volunteered pieces from their personal collections for the signing; and also to Rue Morgue magazine for helping us to promote this exciting event.
