Slumber Party spotlights the body and intimacy, each artist taking a unique approach to figurative work. Through painting and collage, Piñero, McCool, and Valentine explore identity, connectivity, and humanity. Visions of what once was, glances at oneself in the mirror, and scenes otherwise kept behind closed doors are put on display. This serves as a reminder that these compassionate, and sometimes awkward, moments are part of a collective experience. Through the lens of contemporary femmes, Slumber Party, nudges at femininity, gender, and sex in reference to art history.
