Nicholas Bono Kennedy: Sunset Nursery / Simchowitz Pasadena

Nicholas Bono Kennedy's exhibition "Sunset Nursery" at Simchowitz Pasadena from February 23rd to March 29th, 2024, delves into humanity's impact on the environment. Through paintings exploring the balance between creation and destruction, Kennedy prompts reflection on human intervention in nature. Depicting interior plant life, he highlights our detachment from the natural world despite its incorporation into our homes. Inspired by artists like Ken Price, Norman Blume, and Georgia O’Keeffe, Kennedy pushes artistic boundaries, emphasizing light's role in shaping spatial perceptions and emotional experiences. The exhibition urges viewers to contemplate the unintended ecological consequences of human actions and the tendency towards narcissism in our endeavors.
