Hooks-Epstein Galleries will present its first solo exhibitions for University of Houston Master of Fine Arts 2019 graduates Angel Castelán and Sunni Forcier.
The works of Castelán depict a series of ordinary moments that could be a snapshot into anyone’s daily life. However, looking further in, the work is a dialogue in itself, which speaks on identity and personal relationships. Castelán, who is a gay, Latinx male, sources his own life as reference material for the prints, drawings, and paintings in his exhibition, "Echoes."
In her exhibition of dismantled books, "Collection of Whispers," Forcier examines each piece as a specimen under her personal lens for analysis, treating the creation of her work as an investigative process. Forcier’s impulse to take this exploratory approach comes from a litany of health issues and other unexpected circumstances within her family that have led her to delve into themes of memory, time, history, and impermanence.
Following the opening reception, the exhibitions will be open through August 10.
