WAOW Gallery now presents the new SEA, I'M AWAKE exhibition which is a solo show that spotlights the acrylic artwork done by Bianca Nemelc, who is a painter based in New York City. She practices the concept of the "profound and nourishing correspondence between the human body and the natural world."
The latest exhibition channels themes from her Caribbean heritage and she showcases that through the intricate brushstrokes, the brown bodies, and harmonious water tones. It comes together to showcase how humans interact with nature and highlights the element of water, which is a notable theme by the artist. She states that "It is imperative to my own self-discovery to create safe spaces within my work to meditate on these dualities because they are the same that exist within myself [...] SEA, I’M AWAKE’ is a loud declaration and a quiet acknowledgment of the kinship between body and water."
