Through Flesh to Infinity
A Grix and Vinni Alfonso
November 2, 2023 — January 6, 2024
“Through Flesh to Infinity” conveys the nuances of opposing ideas coexisting within a single being, embodying figurative and non-figurative expressions, akin to the intertwined nature of bodily functions and spiritual expansion. This juxtaposition of refinement and chaos, containment and flow, illustrates the profound transformation that can be experienced within the human condition, evoking a garden-like sense of abundance and wonder. At this moment, when humanity grapples with its own contradictions and complexities, this combination becomes essential. In this symbiotic relationship between the work of A Grix and Vinni Alfonso, the depths of the human predicament become illuminated, offering viewers a transcendent journey through the realms of flesh and infinity.
