"At Catharine Clark Gallery Kambui Olujimi's mixed media sculptures tantalize the gallery's open front room. In a gesture as tender and effortless as Picasso's "Bull's Head," each of Olujimi's sculptures pair the same two objects -- handcuffs and jewels -- with slight changes in patina and form. Each hangs off of two nails, the baubles appearing to crystallize off the cuff's chain, rough and delicate in even measures. The gallery also presents drawings by Jonathan Solo that make smooth transitions between coy magazine cut-outs and charged, erotic bodies. "
