Esteban Cabeza de Baca & Heidi Howard: Night & Day Dreams
Poetic and deeply resonant messages on human connection to celestial bodies, landscape, and one another come to the forefront.
David B. Smith Gallery is proud to present Night & Day Dreams, a collaborative exhibition by New York-based artists Heidi Howard and Esteban Cabeza de Baca. Featuring paintings made individually and collaboratively by the artist couple, poetic and deeply resonant messages on human connection to celestial bodies, landscape, and one another come to the forefront.
In their differing ways, Howard and Cabeza de Baca approach the concept of the self vs. the interpersonal, at times divorced from physical grounding while at others tied directly to place. As partners of over a decade with distinct practices that occasionally come together in collaborative works, there is a spiritual quality in each of their canvases, one that spins affectionately through subjects, even when tackling dark historical moments and the echoes of colonialism.
