Gina Occhiogrosso Solo Exhibition:
Gina Occhiogrosso lives and works in Upstate New York. Occhiogrosso’s abstract paintings go through a process of disassembly and realignment and incorporate everyday materials like thread and yarn to trick the eye. Occhiogrosso has attended many artist residencies including MacDowell, the Elizabeth Murray Artist Residency, and The Millay Colony for the Arts. She has an MFA in Painting from SUNY Buffalo, Buffalo, NY.
Abiam Alvarez Solo Exhibition:
Abiam Alvarez is a ceramicist and educator based in Gilroy, California. Abiam is passionate about both pottery and sculpture. His work focuses on creating representational ceramic sculptures of produce, juxtaposed with elements such as vessels, chunks of soil, and tools—symbols of the labor involved in fieldwork. His sculptures honor farm workers by showcasing the fruits of their labor. Most recently, Abiam has been exploring ceramic 3D printing, crafting vessels that emphasize patterns and how glazes interact with those designs. His work has been exhibited extensively in the West Coast, including the Santa Paula Art Museum and Palo Alto Art Center.
We are thrilled to announce Cura Contemporary’s 2025 Open Call! This group show serves as a celebration of Bay Area artists and features both 2D and 3D work in a variety of mediums.
