March 12 - April 13, 2024
Peep is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Nicole Mouriño, Mama Dukes - the artist's first since 2016 and in Philadelphia. The exhibition features the unveiling of Love Languages, a monumental painted triptych alongside an intimate series of works on paper framed in hand-made tile. Compositions extracted from photographs of a flower shop's windows accumulate in layers of charcoal, polymer, and oil paint across the three large-scale panels, constructing an asynchronous decay and embellishment. Storefront windows, typically experienced as a passing image, are re-located as a site of permanent and ever-evolving potential.
This exhibition is part of (re)FOCUS 2024: a citywide festival in collaboration with Philadelphia's visual arts institutions and galleries recognizing women-identifying artists
