Lauren Powell Projects is excited to present Cute Gloom, a group show examining the harmonies and tensions between the aesthetic category of cute and its counterpart gloom. Initially conceived in collaboration with featured artist Benjamin Cabral (ceramics in image above), the project grew to include work by 40 artists. The 80 pieces remind us of the utility cuteness can possess in difficult times, from providing a source of comfort and self-soothing to serving as a visual language to convey needs, wounds, fears, and even anger. When faced with a world of gloom, what can cute do for us?
