SUMMARY:Momento Vivere: Take a Look Around Vol. 2 | By Nev Morin | 3rd Floor Mini Gallery
DESCRIPTION:This show is a culmination of works by artist Nev Morin\, a longtime local artist. In Momento Vivere (remember to live)\, Nev centers her work around the quiet\, sustaining labor of family\, labor that often goes unseen but holds everything together. Drawing from her relationship with her grandparents\, the exhibition reflects on the contrast between her own freedom to move between university and creative pursuits and the long\, demanding workdays that structure her grandparents’ lives. Her grandfather’s hands carry grease and dirt from decades as a mechanic; her grandmother’s labor lives in data\, keyboards\, and months spent away for work. Together\, they have not only provided materially\, but have acted as the connective tissue of the family. \nThese figures are more than workers\, they are teachers\, role models\, and sources of stability. Through their determination\, Nev learned responsibility\, perseverance\, and the possibility of choosing a different future while remaining deeply rooted in where she comes from. The works in this exhibition are acts of gratitude and recognition\, portraying her family members not only through what they do\, but through who they are beyond their labor. \nWorking in acrylic paint and charcoal\, Nev builds portraits and memory-fragments that feel both intimate and slightly surreal. These forgiving materials allow for softness\, texture\, and emotional resonance rather than strict realism. Warm tones dominate the palette\, each brushstroke an attempt to hold the comforting presence of her subjects. Every piece represents either a family member or a moment connected to them\, unified through texture\, color\, and feeling. \nAt its core\, Momento Vivere is a reminder\, to pause\, to look around\, and to remember that life is held together by relationships\, care\, and shared time. Whether it’s watching television after a long day or laughing through small moments\, Nev invites viewers to reflect on their own role models and connections. We are more than our productivity\, more than our expectations. Stop. Take a look around. Remember to live. \n  \nThis show will be open to the public July 27th – September 7th \nJoin us for a reception on August 8th 5-7PM
