Sancocho (San-co-cho) is a traditional soup (often considered a stew) made with different methods and mixtures of ingredients depending on region. This exhibition works to expand the presence of the Hispanic and Latin Diaspora to the Newark downtown area art scene and expose artists to a broader audience. Gallery Aferro proudly presents the group exhibition Sancocho.
Highly rendered focal points often contrast with an unconscious, reoccurring theme of an unfinished, skewed horizontal background. Visual metaphors convey life events that are too difficult to express in any other way. This “duality” is a reminder of complications of the heart and often conveys the disconnection of male and female relationships. This new work draws on the paradox of raw emotions associated with the yearning for truth and beauty within a physically painful existence. This inspiration is a paradox, stylistically. The inspiration in SOUL BABY originates from life combined with an appreciation for traditional Realism as well as an affinity for the Abstract Expressionists and Surrealists.
The resulting paintings describe profoundly personal experiences that also reference topics unexplored in Laurie’s works prior to dramatic changes in her health. Not long after that declaration, Murphy’s life went into a health spiral that would forever impact her “expected” future.
Laurie created the first work in this series, titled “At Peace”, when all of her life seemed aligned and she was joyous. In these works, Laurie draws on the unconscious, meditating on the qualities of primal self and the complexity of all that feeds those meditations in oil paint. This body of work questions how quality of health translates into (dis)connectedness and altered perceptions of family relationships, childhood, love, longing, loss, trauma, natural wonders, and pure beauty. SOUL BABY is subtle on the surface but reveals an inner intensity through very specific titles concerning health issues existing within the artist’s family (multigenerational schizophrenia, Asperger’s, mental illness). The actual SOUL BABY is an unrealized physical being that has been portrayed obsessively at the core of who the artist considers them self to be. It contains original works, both two-dimensional and three-dimensional, oil paintings and drawings.

The paradox of free will and the psyche, a universal object originating before the human individual, creates non corporeal phenomena through which the artists may convey themselves. A choice is an act of free will, consciously or subconsciously, and carry an imprint of the will. through housing, environment, culture, subculture, relationships, and their various manifestations. These representations are a process of association i.e. The show displays artists’ self portraits through representation of the ephemeral, the immaterial, and the objective. Molting relates the psyche to free will by means of non corporeal identification. Opening Reception October 17th 7pm – 10pm Curated by Kayla Carucci, Alex Scott Cumming, and Jacob Mandel
