Sikkema Jenkins & Co. is pleased to announce a series of new print editions by Jeffrey Gibson. This series of five editions features vivid, screen-printed letters in a typographic treatment developed by the artist collaged on to a printed background, each print in its own artist’s selected color frame. Gibson adapted lyrics from iconic dance and pop songs he heard going to night clubs in Korea, Germany, London in the 80s and 90s, synthesizing expressions of queer and pop culture with the cultural traditions and motifs of his Cherokee and Choctaw heritage. Through the bright, bold declarations made in his prints, Gibson emphasizes the strength and vulnerability found within these communities, and the revolutionary act of expressing joy within a challenging larger culture. These prints are published by Sikkema Jenkins & Co., and printed by the Lower East Side Printshop at an edition of 30 each.
