Spruill Gallery Presents After an Endless Embrace with Kate Burke and Aineki Traverso
Opening Reception: September 19, 6 -9 p.m.
Artist’s Talk: October 1, 7 p.m. Spruill Gallery

Spruill Gallery is pleased to announce After an Endless Embrace, a two-person collaborative exhibition featuring works by Atlanta-based artists Kate Burke and Aineki Traverso. The exhibition runs from September 19 to October 31, 2024, at Spruill Gallery.

After an Endless Embrace brings together Burke’s and Traverso’s distinctive works. While Traverso delves into the interplay of figuration and expressionism to explore nuances of memory and nature; Kate Burke recontextualizes Southern spirituality through her storytelling approach. Together, their works create a dialogue that reflects the Gallery’s commitment to presenting new and experimental art.

In lieu of a traditional curatorial approach, Gallery Director Shannon Morris provided Burke and Traverso to engage collaboratively, embodying the Gallery’s vision to showcase new, experimental and rarely seen works. This opportunity allowed the artists to push the boundaries of their practices.

Special Program: Spruill Gallery host an artists’ talk Tuesday, October 1 at 7 p.m. offering the audience insight into the artists’ individual and collaborative practices during the making of their new work, which revolves around the ideas of nature, technology, and humanism.

The two Atlanta-based artists discuss their inspirations and processes, engaging in a meaningful conversation and subsequent Q&A moderated by the director of Spruill Gallery, Shannon Morris
