Richard Heller Gallery showcases Kyle Coniglio's first solo exhibition titled 'No More I Love You's', named after Annie Lennox's song. Coniglio reflects on the deeper meaning behind the title, relating it to the current societal struggles and expressing them through art that features wounded figures. He humorously addresses moments of discomfort in queer experiences, utilizing beauty alongside his darker themes. The artwork combines references to historic painting styles and contemporary horror, creating narratives that resonate with both personal and collective experiences of fear and intimacy.
Coniglio considers "No More I Love You's" as a poetic statement for the fraught times we are living in, embodying it through wounded figures and expressions of horror.
I'm interested in things going a little wrong, the moments people don't share on Instagram, because as a chronically single person, that's most of my queer experience.
For this iteration my figures are watching a horror movie or the news... the figures are in a scary movie themselves, which is just starting to unfold.
Coniglioâs sense of humor butts up against his employment of beauty, often taking cues from 17th and 18th-century European painting.
