Sweetly, From A Window

Black Box Gallery proudly presents a solo exhibition featuring the works of Tom Livo.

​

Artist Statement:

My new paintings depict buildings in my ancestral neighborhoods, spanning from Dearborn to Detroit. These areas hold personal significance as they are where my great-grandmother and grandparents lived. Despite the passage of time, many of these buildings still stand, offering glimpses into the past. As I traverse these streets, I connect with the experiences of my ancestors. Additionally, I find American humor in the marketing of these establishments, which juxtaposes decay with grandiose promises. Through my paintings, I capture the essence of these places, preserving their stories like messages on walls and tunes from old windows, weaving the past into my present.
