“Vincent Pocsik: A Thousand Years” at Nazarian/Curcio | Los Angeles 

 

Vicent Pocsik’s latest group of surrealist-inflected sculptures embraces Shaker furniture’s emphasis on utility, simplicity, and finely crafted joinery while steering it into far stranger territory. Carved from local woods and accented with cast metal, stained glass, and fiber, the works reflect the Los Angeles sculptor’s longstanding fascination with the handmade object and the expressive possibilities embedded within traditional craft. Familiar motifs recur in unexpected configurations across sixteen new works. Walnut hands clutch bronze tools, flowers, fruit, and vegetables; two new chair sculptures are adorned with subtly anthropomorphic features. Overhead, umbrella-like chandeliers cast light through stained-glass panels. Throughout the collection, references to 19th-century American furniture remain visible yet delightfully unsettled.
