Murmurs is pleased to present 𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳, a solo exhibition of paintings and sculptures by Sissòn, marking the artist’s first solo show with the gallery. This exhibition serves as a survey or a departure from one school of thinking, and ascendance to a new era for the artist. Evoking a period of renaissance similar to Miles Davis's transition from Silent Way to Bitches Brew, Sissòn expands on their vast knowledge of color theory and application, merging abstract and figurative painting styles. To continue the journey in addition to their paintings, Sissòn forges ceramic sacred face jugs inspired by the Deep South filled with hand-grown cotton.
