Luce Gallery presents “Everyday Secrets”, a group show curated by artist Mosie Romney bringing together new works by Chris Lloyd, Collins Obijiaku, Bony Ramirez, Mosie Romney, Curtis Talwst Santiago, and Sydney Elexis Vernon.
Reflecting on themes of mysticism, mindfulness, and materiality as the inspiration for the exhibition, Romney prompts each artist to examine their individual relationship to spirituality and artmaking. In two new works by the artist-curator, the irregular space of memory and the subconscious are grounded by material references to the physical world, characterized by the artists use of decoupage. This instability of memory, the physical body, and the world which entraps it, is explored throughout the exhibition.
