Artist Ron Crusan will exhibit his newest body of work, Recent Work: American Nkisi Nkondi, September 12–14, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Granite Gallery, 68 Main Street, Tenants Harbor. The exhibition is part of the St. George Business Alliance’s Touring Peninsula Art event, which brings together artists, galleries, and studios throughout St. George for a celebratory weekend of creativity and culture.

Crusan’s recent sculptures draw inspiration from Nkisi Nkondi power figures of the Kongo peoples—spiritual sculptures invested with authority through the ritual insertion of nails and other objects.

In his adaptation, Crusan employs found industrial artifacts and everyday American objects to probe the fractures in contemporary Western society.

“My work looks at American culture and how the societal norms are slowly eroding away,” said Crusan. “The lack of civility, diminishing intellectual curiosity, violence, and the rise of intolerance are fueled by the glorification of celebrity in a society that values opinion as fact and lies equal truth.”

"Visitors will find Granite Gallery easily by following the ART TOUR signs across the peninsula," said a news release.
