‘Silenced’ explores the maternal resonance and democratic impact of absent voices. The sculpture, holding a key and lock, metaphorically binds matrilineal imprints while reflecting the stripping of women’s rights. It’s one of three ‘sisters’ built to share energy through individual tones of sound and silence.
From the Gallery:
Surreal Salon – the annual international exhibition celebrating the pop-surrealist/lowbrow movement – returns to Baton Rouge Gallery (“BRG”) for its 18th year this January. The exhibition, held in partnership with the LSU School of Art, features artists from across the globe, each hand-picked by the show’s Special Guest Juror, Swoon, via a blind jurying process.
For more than a decade, Surreal Salon has featured paintings, photography, ceramics, textiles, mixed media works, and more. Now a new collection of artists and media are added to the list with the show’s 18th edition in 2026.
