“Section” is comprised of works on paper and sculpture that St. John has been developing over the past 7 years. The Mollusk show pushes further some of St. John’s experiments with parallel representations of two and three-dimensional space, and the stark use of cropping, both photographic and mechanical.

Todd St. John is an artist, designer and animator. Originally from Hawaii, he currently lives and works in New York City. St. John produces both commercial and experimental work through HunterGatherer, the studio/workshop that he founded in 2000. He has created animations, illustrations and graphics for everyone from MTV to Money Mark to The New York Times. In 1994, while living in California, St. John co-founded the influential graphic T-shirt label Green Lady with Gary Benzel. Nylon Magazine described Green Lady as “to the designer T-shirt world what RunDMC is to hip-hop”.

St. John regularly has work published, broadcast and exhibited internationally. He was included in the 2003 Cooper-Hewitt National Design Triennial with Benzel, and in 2008 was nominated for an Emmy for the animated short “Circle Squared”. St. John also teaches as a graduate critic at the Yale School of Art.
