Jennifer Khoshbin Artist Biography & Statement

My work has taken two paths. One path centers around my own personal, private relationship to the power of the story, fable, or myth; a relationship that includes nostalgia and some unidentified ingredients I’ll never quite make sense of. I depict scenes or moments from larger stories that haven't yet been told. I work to vividly imagine the parts of a whole, perhaps incomplete stories are answers.

My second path is public-facing, public embracing. I have worked with bookshop owners, neighborhood committees, city counsels, and national institutions in public art collaborations. Whether it is a small quiet bench designed for comfort, or a large-scale refugee installation, the intent is always the same - commune with you the public for a moment or a lifetime.

Contemporary Resin Sculpture Art

The Flower Power Pose sculptures are a series of small totems created for an ongoing body of work by artist Jen Khoshbin - entitled The Sun Seekers. The Sun Seekers are a mythological group of people disoriented by modern life, who ultimately seek the warmth of the sun and eat flowers to stay alive.

This totem is now yours – a symbol to reconnect with the natural world as a form of healing and power. Place it in a sunny spot and let the light shine through.
