AJ Fosik's Masks






I love these masks by AJ Fosik. The colours and the sharp shapes remind me of some of the murals I saw around the temples in Thailand.

"AJ Fosik's eclectic handmade and intricately designed wood animal sculptures and paintings, combined with cryptic symbols, intrigue and provoke. Fosik creates an experience that at first glance evokes a questioning of familiar concepts and then pushes the viewer to look and think deeper. Inspired by subversive cultural influences which shift complacency, he creates pieces that suspend comfort while at the same time offer recognizable symbols and images. In this dynamic tension the art and the viewer hopefully come together in an expanded definition of culture and assumption." - quoted from Fosik's biography on jonathanlevinegallery.com
