EASTERN PROJECTS is excited to announce our first show of the year, and Simón Silva’s second show with the gallery. Salt of the Earth, an evocative exhibition that showcases a series of over 40 paintings dedicated to celebrating the often-unseen contributions of working individuals who form the backbone of our society. This powerful collection of images, developed over the past year, aims to shed light on the lives of those who frequently go unnoticed and under-appreciated in our daily lives. “The works in this exhibition are a testament to the vital contributions of people who are rarely in the spotlight,” says the artist. “This body of work seeks not only to honor these individuals but also to inspire a deeper understanding of their value, and to remind us that life is most meaningful when we recognize and celebrate the unsung heroes who shape our world.” EASTERN PROJECTS invites art lovers, activists, and the public to engage with this thought-provoking exhibition that challenges preconceived notions and encourages a broader appreciation for the workers who help make the world turn.
