Assembled from carved and shaped wood and clay elements, Jebah Baum’s recent
sculptures evoke the chaotic architecture of a spontaneously erected stockade. Their
textured surfaces show remnants of saw and chisel marks that bear witness to their
making. Baum celebrates modernist conventions of abstraction in his artworks,
juxtaposing two and three dimensional space in playful dichotomy. His biomorphic
tower-like sculptures are visibly pierced with the pins and dowels that serve to join their
various members, exhibiting both violence and vulnerability with an animated energy
that bring to mind Lars Vilks’ driftwood fortress,“Nimes”, the kinetic motorized sculptures
of Jean Tinguely and Franz Kline’s angular expressionist paintings.
Jebah Baum is a visual artist and educator. He holds a BFA in printmaking from SUNY
Purchase and an MFA from Cornell University. He is a Hudson Valley native, lived many
years in Scandinavia and exhibits his work both in the U.S. and abroad.
