Enter the magical and bizarre world of the “Moss People” at Jason Jacques Gallery in the Finnish artist Kim Simonsson’s solo exhibition, Shaman Party (until 7 November). These life-sized ceramic figures, covered in flocked green velvet, depict children sporting strange headdresses, who look like they are engaged in some sort of wild and imaginative play in a forest. “In the Moss People world, lost and disconnected children, evoking different characters, gather in a Shaman Party, choose leaders and end up creating false idols,” the artist says in a statement. The works are presented in a dark gallery space that gives the impression of wandering through a fairy-tale forest
