The Diversity of Relationships and Memories

Riverside Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of paintings by Steve Cavallo and Kyung Cavallo from September 4 to 14, 2026, with an opening reception on September 12, Saturday, from 6 to 8 PM. Titled, "The Diversity of Relationships and Memories," the exhibition brings together the works of a contemporary figurative artist and an outsider artist couple. An artist who has focused on the human rights issues, including the Holocaust survivors and the Korean Comfort Women, Steve Cavallo showcases a diverse body of works ranging towards American iconography and personal experiences and relationships. Steve Cavallo has continually expanded his subject matter and style to include works that appear as psychological snapshots of American cinema which deeply reveals the subconscious of the American culture and identity hidden within. Why has Steve Cavallo turned his attention from the subject matter of human rights and the resilience of humanity in the face of of evil to the imagery of the American psychological theater, including the cultural motifs of Halloween, the American West, and the everyday life of the American cities and suburbs? The exhibition suggests different answers for this shift on the part of Steve Cavallo to seek a more personal narrative on the level of personal desire and American cultural identity.
