Carl Joe Williams and Piki Mendizabal Curator: Emre Karaoglu Statement INDIVIDUALS: Figurative Group Exhibition January 13 – February 3, 2024 The Second Story Gallery is pleased to exhibit works by artists who have explored various aspects of figurative artwork. Exhibited are examples of artists’ mastery of innovative tools, subject matter, and chosen techniques. This exhibition is an interpretation of figurative artwork within the collective consciousness. The participating artists incorporate painting, sculpture, and drawings utilizing various media, and figure approaches to initiate a new conversation about what portraits and figures mean to us. Human bodies and faces embody many deep emotions in the routine struggle in life. As an observer, when you watch daily life, you can feel these emotions. The images we paint of the human body act as a bridge for us, a way to express to others what we feel from the people we see in daily life.
