MOCA Jacksonville is pleased to present a major survey of works by locally based, international artist Amer Kobaslija. Throughout his artistic trajectory, Kobaslija has depicted his surroundings with virtuosity and wit, displaying a keen eye for detail informed by a deep understanding of the history of art. Embedded in his work is the search for a sense of place, reflected in series that describe his nomadic life. Outside Looking In traces his career from early works to the present, including selections from Florida Diaries, One Hundred Views of Kesennuma (Japan), Road to Rossinière (Switzerland), Places, Spaces, and the ongoing Artist Studios series.
