New work by Larissa De Jesús, Moises Salazar, and Olivier Souffrant will be on view at Kravets Wehby Gallery Thursday, December 9, 2021. Opening reception on Thursday, December 9th 6 - 8PM. Each artists’ methods are multifaceted, media is collaged and layered to enhance and personalize the lens. They honor art history, pulling references and fitting them into their respective personal canons, de-centering the viewer from any historical past or present.

Collectively, the work sparks intonations of worship, a sacredness carefully assembled across their surfaces. Each painting acts as an altar of the artists’ inner minds, the communities that informed them, and the cultures they carry. The leisurely nature of the figures savor basic freedoms that their ancestors have historically been denied in America. Each of the three artists offer their disparate ideas of luxury, whether it be bathing, lounging in glittering fields and beds of rose petals with friends, or lucid dreaming in the living room. De Jesús, Salazar, and Souffrantassemble their personal ways of worshipping self.
