“Every summer, we create new additions to our Flower Power collection, inspired by all the flowers blooming in our yard this time of year,” said Dale Ocasio. “The flowers make the bees happy, and they make us happy, too. Flowers, in all their shapes, sizes, and curious embodiments, keep finding their way into our artwork and hold a prominent place there.”
“’Midnight Voyeur,’” stated Branchaud, “was inspired by an uncanny moment in time, deep in the throes of night and nestled in the heart of the natural world, where there is only you and the wild that surrounds you. In these moments we often encounter visitors, such as this owl, who serve to remind us that we are never truly alone.”
The exhibition will also include a piece by Nick Masiello titled “State of the Union,” which is an attempt to emotionally process the current chaos of living in America and the feeling of powerlessness to make any significant positive change for future generations.
Diana Ripoll, David Acevedo, and Xavier Brignoni are also participating in this exhibition.
