Flowerland is both a tribute to and a rebuke of the insistent smile we maintain in the face of chaos and destruction. “These are the angriest, most colorful protest paintings I’ve ever made,” says Nichols. “I don’t think art is great for specific messages. I’m just trying to figure out how to read the news along with everyone else. Are these any less effective protest messages than a FUCK TRUMP sign on the White House lawn? They both seem just as futile as they are hopeful.”Group exhibition with works by Dorit Cypis, Sandra de la Loza, Kate Hoffman, Amitis Motevalli, Scott Short, Suzanne Wright, and Samira Yamin
