“We Know You’re Preparing for the Onslaught, so Here’s a List of 15 Solo Gallery Shows Worth Seeing in New York This Month: Jacob Littlejohn”
“What the Thunder Said” by Jacob Littlejohn
Where: Karma
When: September 10 – October 25
Why It’s Worth a Look: In New York, it’s easy to feel disconnected from the cycles of natural life that once manifested to our ancestors as sprites, hinkypunks, and faeries. Jacob Littlejohn probes Scottish and Celtic folklore to re-enchant his audience with the wild in large-scale paintings.
Know Before You Go: Littlejohn’s work oozes materiality: Gobs of paint have been stripped away with knives, substrate stained with organic materials, and wet drawings imprinted on new paper-like afterimages.
