The paintings and sculptures in “Incidence” offer a look at destruction waged against the environment.


“‘Incidence’ of something that could violently or imperceptibly affect the entire environment and our own nature; ‘Incidence’ of light rays coming from the Sun that show us the truth, or coming from sources that can control the visual result; ‘incidence’ of our gazes from our own points of view; “incidence” of and on reality itself; ‘Incidence’ as signs left in time, as simple attestation of life going on, or as warnings,” Nevercrew explained.

The cerebral paintings of Cody Seekins blend amorphous, psychedelic figures and elements of pop culture.

The paintings of Los Angeles based artist Danny Galieote seem to have one foot in the past and one in the future, a style that he describes as "Pop Regionalism", combining Pop art and Regionalism art aspects. Growing up, Galieote spent much of his time listening to his grandfather's war stories, eventually going on to work as an animator on films like The Lion King, Tarzan and Hercules at Disney's Florida studio, a job that requires fundamental understanding of the human figure and stylizing it to suit animation. His command of drawing the figure and appreciation for art and history between the 1920s and 1950s comes together in his uniquely American imagery, recalling those days of the American heartland with apparent modern touches.
