Amadeo Morelos Online Exhibition 31st March – 11th April |

Amadeo Morelos’ new body of work presents an elaborate world that captures the viewer through close-cropped perspectives that display whimsical interactions between the protagonists. In a continuation of the thematics explored in his solo exhibition at Unit London, titled Providence(2021), this series similarly features subjects in conflict with their natural surroundings. |

This series reflects the narrative of ‘The Choice of Hercules’, suggesting parallels between a hero and everyman, as each viewer undoubtedly relates to the hero’s plight of overcoming obstacles while choosing a more righteous path. |
