Hope Dies Last Group Show at Clint Roenisch Gallery

Clint Roenisch Gallery presents 'Hope Dies Last', a group exhibition featuring four artists: Joseph Yoakum, Kristan Horton, Ali Eyal, and Amanda Boulos. The show is framed around optimism, inquiry, imagination, and perseverance. Yoakum, known for his visionary landscapes, once said, 'Wherever my mind led me, I would go. I’ve been all over this world four times.' Horton is recognized for his obsessive studio practice, describing his aesthetic as something he 'arrives at' in foreign lands. Eyal, an Iraqi artist, credits the sun for teaching him to draw; his works are based on a fictional farm and use various media as 'witnessing tools' rooted in memory. Boulos, a Palestinian born in Lebanon and based in Toronto, draws from her bicultural perspective. The exhibition's title references Jessie Lopez De La Cruz (1919–2013), a Chicano-American farm worker and activist who organized with Cesar Chavez and was immortalized by Studs Terkel.
