A curation by Rita Cerciello, Founder & Senior Curator at Independent Art Advisory - "Maybe I am not very human. What I wanted to do was to paint sunlight on the side of a house." — Edward Hopper In this curation, I explore the profound quiet of the contemporary landscape through the lens of one of the 20th century’s most iconic masters. Opening with Stephanie Bing’s vibrant and fractured vision of New York, I invite you into "Hopper’s Shadow" — a collection of 30 contemporary artworks that capture the beauty of isolation and the cinematic drama of light. I have gathered pieces that master the art of the 'interruption'—those moments where time seems to stand still in a lonely café, behind a sun-drenched window, or along an empty street. From the desolate nostalgia of John Brooks’ Route 66 to the sharp, urban silence captured by Joel Dyer and Vita Schagen, these works define an architecture of solitude. Through realistic oil paintings and modern digital fragments, I invite you to observe the world as Hopper did: as a series of silent rooms and solitary figures waiting for a light that never fades. This is a journey into the 'Modern Silence,' where every shadow tells a story of introspection and every window is a threshold to an unseen world.
