Wheel Of Fortune

Providence Public Library. Providence, RI. 2024.

An art exhibition by Eli Kauffman. These life-size figurative paintings explore the intimacies of rest and labor through tender and colorful scenes. A site specific art installation full of life-sized paintings explore the breadth and intensity of young adulthood, through self betterment and collective perseverance. Kauffman makes paintings specific to the scenery and artifacts in their community, revisiting moments that feel profound in daily life. The work is like a soap opera; It is all about slowing fast moments down so that we can sit in them.
