In Lieu of Better Days: Paintings and Drawings by Toni Hamel
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 By juxtaposing historical references, and popular culture, the artist aims to evoke cognitive dissonance in viewers while fostering a sense of timelessness and introspection.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.
