On January 11th, Jamian Juliano-Villani will be opening an exhibition in the works for over a year at JTT in New York entitled Ten Pound Hand. As evidenced by her unconventional choice of show title, the New Jersey-raised artist has a dark sense of humor and seemingly has no boundaries her artistic vision. Known for her unsettling amalgamations and appropriation of source materials such as pop culture, movies, and art history, Juliano-Villani’s is sure to excite her fans with some new surreal compositions on her return to the gallery. Count KAWS as one of those admirers, and based on one of JJV’s paintings for the show (seen below), the feeling is mutual.
