"Kapwa" - 1810 Gallery

 Located At 215 14th Street Sacramento, CA 95814

    The artwork was composed of 6 artists, and many different mediums. There are three main rooms to the gallery. In the first room there were portraits, and a triptych of bright color painting formatted like a where's waldo artwork, minus waldo. Haha it had so many details and cartoonish little characters all doing something within a large city market scene! These pieces really captured my attention, in the second room we had more sculptural works, a wall hanging, a shrine like piece, and an elevated canvas painting hovering off the wall with pins by about an inch. This large painting pinned to the wall surrounded by painted leaves and candles, a very sculptural painting, because it layered canvas and floated off the wall, was of two women, gleaming that they must be lovers are naked with their arms around the other. It feels very natural and simple, a soft portraiture of these two lovers; it was probably my favorite piece in the show. Another piece was a woman manipulating water around these twin-like babies in a pool of water, it was very illustrative and made out of different kinds of fiber and paint. It was titled something like “parenting my younger self” and I found that it really resonated with me and the things my mother has taught me about what it is to grow up and be emotionally aware.
