Gallery MOMO is pleased to present Surrogate Emotions, the debut solo exhibition by Blessing Blaai.

In Surrogate Emotions, Blaai examines the construction and mediation of feeling, considering how memory, environment, and representation converge to create emotional surrogates that stand in for lived experience.

Working across painting and mixed media, he continues his exploration of figuration as a site of psychological and social inquiry, where layered, fragmented compositions give form to complex interior states.
