Jessica Stockholder's creative vision unfolds through the utilization of a diverse array of discount store-bought and mass-produced materials, which she skillfully integrates into her monumental sculptures and installations, a distinctive practice that has earned praise as "Frankensteinian" by the Wall Street Journal. Notably, Stockholder's artistic repertoire extends to the realm of unique paper works. With meticulous attention to detail, she orchestrates these compositions to present viewers with a tangible and immersive encounter with the material world. Through carefully choreographed arrangements, Stockholder seeks to render the complexities of the material realm comprehensible, inviting audiences into a realm where the mundane is transformed into the extraordinary. Her works exude a vibrant energy, rich with color and texture, often adorned with glossy, plasticky coatings that further amplify their visual impact. In their boldness and inventiveness, Stockholder's creations bear a striking resemblance to the assemblage sculptures pioneered by Robert Rauschenberg, yet they possess a unique aesthetic language that is unmistakably her own.
