Dark Crystal, Roxanne Jackson’s two person show with Kevin Andrew Curran opens on September 25th at Reservoir Art Space in Queens, NY.
Reservoir Art Space is pleased to announce Dark Crystal, where sparkling hole-riddled astronauts meet macabre twisted mermaids. Two worlds collide in this presentation of imaginary explorations into deep inner realms of the human psyche. Kevin Andrew Curran’s astronauts inhabit voids of space while Roxanne Jackson’s creatures derive from mysterious water depths. These fantastical beings exhibit a willingness to exist together for a time, in order to locate a shard of humanity that will bring balance back to the universe.

Kevin Andrew Curran grew up in a large family (one of eight kids) splitting time between his mom’s place in Upstate New York and his dad’s place in Northern California. As a teenager Curran began making ceramic sculpture, and later chose to study art, as well as philosophy as an undergraduate. In 2006 he completed his Masters of Fine Arts in Sculpture at Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia. Since then Curran has split his time between New York and Tokyo making and showing his own work, as well as curating exhibitions first as the founder and director of Laundromat Gallery and later as a co-founder of AIRPLANE gallery, both in Brooklyn, New York.
