| Island Cage (c. 2025) by Gil Batle from Ricco/Maresca
In their first exhibition devoted exclusively to this body of work, Ricco/Maresca presents ‘Double Life’ by Gil Batle— an American Filipino artist known for his intricate illustrations and topical themes addressing violence, longing, justice, and native wildlife.
Using found plates and export porcelain, Batle weaves together devotional imagery, tattoo flash, and comics into symbolic scenes.
Animals, birds, foliage, and figures from the island come together to create fantastical and highly expressive moments, all contained within the border of a familiar dish.
Exhibition on through August 21st, 2026
