Jerry Joslin is a modern master of representational figurative sculpture. It is his chosen discipline because it offers the greatest challenge to "...express my deepest feelings, intuition, inspiration and perception, all in terms that others can understand and appreciate...the human figure is undeniably the touchstone to art in any era."

His sculpture is imbued with a lyrical romance that carries the traditions of the old European masters onward into the new millenia with a fresh contemporary narrative. Look closely at Joslin's impressive body of work and you see more than figurative interplay with precise execution. Implicit in each sculpture is a personal communication that exposes the intellect of this artist.

Through the use of folded two-dimensional surfaces, Joslin has created provocative background metaphors. The two dimensional surfaces then extrude into seemingly three-dimensional forms. This trans-dimensionalism creates mysterious tapestries, rich in compelling imagery, leaving more to the imagination than straightforward representation.

These trans-dimensional sculptures are different from 'reliefs' because they are not fore-shortened. He intends them to be free standing, their reverse sides suggesting a primitive 'rawness.' Any two-dimensional backdrop he creates may suggest an allegory or intangibility, such as 'life-force,' fate, spirituality, harmonic rhythm, etc...

The reverse side or 'back' of his trans-dimensional sculpture represents the amorphous void, the imponderable nothing-ness from which everything emerges. The sculpture is then seen to resolve itself, metaphysically, into a higher form of art.

Attesting to his pre-eminence among contemporary figurative sculptors, Joslin's impressive body of work, created over the last quarter century, is represented in many museum, public, and private collections around the world.
