Slaughter

December 11, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Gallery Yonhee is pleased to present a solo exhibition Slaughter: Steven Cavallo.

DATE: November 2nd – December 11th, 2018
OPENING RECEPTION: Friday, Nov. 9th at 6pm
PERFORMANCE: Friday, Nov. 9th at 7:30pm Kyungeun Kim: “Haegeum” (the Korean Traditional Instrument)

During World War II, many innocent and ordinary people became victims of the largest case of human trafficking in the 20th century. This is not a just a “World War II” issue, — it’s a crime against Human Rights and Justice. The victims are millions of people, and this is a serious crime in the history of Human Rights abuses and the Jewish massacre during the Holocaust.

Through his work, Cavallo portrays World War II and the victims that resulted from it, as well as represents our hearts that love peace and empathize with the victims’ pain and suffering. They are collected together for this Exhibition; Slaughter. Steven Cavallo makes an effort to address that the struggles of victims from past wars is not one individual problem, but throughout the nation. We must work towards a happier and more peaceful world, so that less people will suffer in the future.

Suggested Donation: $20
Special Thanks to Suh family, Mrs. Yonhee Suh

Steven Cavallo is a watercolourist whose work focuses on human rights and human trafficking, but more specifically, forced sexual slaves of WWII known as Comfort Women, and the systematic mass murder of Jews by the Nazis and their collaborators known as the Holocaust.
Cavallo’s paintings consist of the human figure; most images being a combination of different models put together in a way to show the underlying beauty of the human figure, and the grotesque images of what mankind has done. Cavallo uses the colors that are common in bruises, and focuses not on the war years, but the years that follow. The years spent in silence, the years of speaking out and the years of being outcasts of society and now, in recent months, being forsaken by their own government.
