molt verb ˈmōlt

Jason Freeny aptly chose the word MOLT as the title for his La Luz de Jesus debut, reflecting the display of transition inherent in the subject matter of his sculptural pieces. He has shed and moved forward from his iconic toy dissections onto pieces that are strictly about form.
Freeny has always had a fascination with clean surfaces, crisp edges and beautiful volumes, and this show is simultaneously the end of his exploration of vinyl toy anatomy and the beginning of his own, original surface and form based characters and creatures.
Freeny is the owner of the Moist Production studio, which acts as the primary publisher and distributor of his works. Freeny lives and works in Brooklyn, NY
