SteveCup - BREAKING POINT
Opening Reception: Friday, April 6th from 6:00-9:00pm
April 6th - May 13th, 2018 at Waterloo Arts

How are we maneuvering through the emotional landscape created by our current government? 

Are we plodding by, perpetuating the status quo? Or are we actively engaging ourselves and community by generating change?

In this body of work Steve Cup explores what he—and perhaps others—see as a rapidly deteriorating sense of community as the country reaches all-time levels of divisiveness. Spanning personal works, private commissions and commercial work, each piece represents an immediate, often emotional reaction to the violently changing social tide in America. The exhibition includes themes of gun violence, migration, racism and Trump himself. In the first year of Donald Trump's presidency, there is very little that hasn't been affected. Mr. Cup takes us on a journey to understand how we've gotten to where we are.
