In Lieu Of Better Days

Upcoming Exhibition at CK Contemporary, “In Lieu of Better Days”, Explores the absurdities of Contemporary life through paintings and drawings by Toni Hamel [San Francisco, CA, 3/26/24] – CK Contemporary is thrilled to announce the opening of a new exhibition featuring the works of acclaimed Italian/Canadian artist Toni Hamel. Titled "In Lieu of Better Days," this narrative-driven body of work offers sharp yet poignant commentary on the absurdities and paradoxes of contemporary life. The exhibition will open to the public on July 6 and will run through August 3. With her signature use of wit, irony, and satire, Hamel's collection delves deep into the complexities of our modern existence, weaving together themes of beauty, contradiction, and societal reflection. "In Lieu of Better Days" explores the interplay between human actions, desires, and decisions within the broader context of environmental and social landscapes. By juxtaposing historical references, and popular culture, the artist aims to evoke cognitive dissonance in viewers while fostering a sense of timelessness and introspection. "Hamel's work goes beyond mere visual appeal; it serves as a catalyst for dialogue, challenging viewers to reconsider the ethical and moral compass guiding their behavior in the present day. Each piece in the exhibition prompts reflection and invites viewers to engage in a deeper exploration of societal norms and values”, says Lauren Ellis, Co-Owner and Director of CK Contemporary.
