Halo Economics.

A barber who cut his hair for fourteen years. A mother at the swap meet. A young man and his uncle's Impala. In the old paintings the halo told you who mattered. Here it does the same job.

The show opens with a conversation between Dade and the barber from Saint of the Second Chair, who owns the painting and lent it back for six weeks.

A note: the artists in this show are demo personas created for the Knect preview, the gallery is fictional and the work was generated with Higgsfield AI.

§ CURATOR’S NOTE

“Gold leaf costs more per square inch than anything else in an artist's studio. Marcus spends it on barbers, mothers and young men leaning on cars. That is the whole argument, and it is a good one.”
