    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Natural Materials Pancho Jiménez Nnenna Okore Cameron Welch April 10 – May 8, 2021 #naturalmaterialsexhibition #jenkinsjohsongallery #minnesotastreetproject @pancho_jimenez @nnennaokore @welch_cameron @jenkinsjohnsongallery @ minnesotastreetproject Cameron Welch, Hot Head, 2021, marble, glass, ceramic, oil, acrylic and spray enamel on panel in artist frame, 47.5 x 37.5 in. Jenkin Johnson Gallery, San Francisco, is pleased to present Natural Materials, a group exhibition featuring new works by Pancho Jiménez, Nnenna Okore and Cameron Welch. This exhibition explores three artists’ use of natural material and found objects in their practice. Each artist approaches materials differently creating a captivating discussion on materiality, texture, and shape. Jiménez rebuilds and recontextualizes found trinkets and objects. Okore weaves fibers and found material to create ethereal sculptures. Welch adds a contemporary perspective to traditional mosaic techniques with motifs and imagery found throughout history. Natural Materials opens Saturday, April 10, 2021 and will be on view through Saturday, May 8. The exhibition is by appointment only. Please visit our website to schedule a viewing. www.jenkinsjohnsongallery.com. Francisco (Pancho) Jiménez (lives and works in Santa Clara, CA) explores the elusiveness of dreams and memory. Joining together molded forms in unlikely combinations, Jiménez transforms kitsch elements into complex pieces with a rich and relevant focus. The juxtaposition of shapes in his sculptures may at first seem haphazard, but is intentionally crafted to mimic the illusiveness of memory as it advances and recedes over time. Jiménez holds an M.F.A. in Sculptural Ceramics from San Francisco State University, and his BA degree from Santa Clara University. He has exhibited extensively in the San Francisco Bay Area and nationally at universities, private galleries and civic spaces.

The exhibition runs from 7 January to 8 February, 2020. Osi Audu’s practice focuses on abstract art that retains some figurative elements in his geometric acrylic paintings in two colours and monochromatic grey and black drawings. Following the Yoruba concept of Ori Inu („the inner head“), his works - most of them displaying portraits of the self - draw attention to the artist‘s focus on the head as a signifier of consciousness and as an object of self-knowing. Audu received his BFA from the University of Ife (Nigeria) in 1980 and his MFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of Georgia in Athens (USA) in 1984. Kevin Demery‘s works explore the interplay between North American history and signifiers of power, developing a painterly language that invites us to move between the potent aesthetic of his work and recurring motifs of historical violence, surveillance and childhood trauma.
