Night Critters: Esther Morales & Alarico Ciaramelli Duo Exhibition
August 10, 2024 - September 1, 2024
Opening Reception / Aug 10, 5:00PM - 8:00PM
Gallery Nucleus is pleased to feature the wonderful work of Esther Morales and Alarico Ciaramelli in a duo exhibition! Focusing on nocturnal creatures, this exhibition will feature new work from both artists, both of whom will be attending in person to greet and sign prints and books for guests.
Esther's pieces showcase little slices of life of the animals that live in the wilderness at night, paying homage to the dichotomy of life in nature: its lights and shadows, its tenderness and aggressiveness, its delicate and raw essence.
Alarico's pieces play on the concept of "nightlife", in which animals have been decontextualized from their own natural habitat and are taking over the space humans have built around them, playfully satirizing the ways in which interference and cohabitation with humanity has altered these creatures's lives.
