June Canedo de Souza: All top teeth knocked out at once @nicodimgallery in LA March 28 — May 9, 2026   “In the painting rodeo heart-teeth clenched- wide mouth-looking bush, I see two bundled fists crossed at the wrists above the crown of a man’s head, all outlined with sweeping marks of deep brown. It is as if I am floating above a man extending his looming hands. I can see both the inside creases of palms and outside folds of fingers closed in a grip — what a clenched fist might look like from the inside. I ask myself if they really are fists or open palms. An open palm and a closed fist? A cloudy diffusion of green coalesces with murky atmospheric black and peeks of chalky orange and yellow. To me, these are the hues of a fresh bruise. Only closer looking and minutes in, reveals light drawings atop the right extremity resembling the skin of strawberries or the center hearts of a flower. I remember beating hearts are often said to be the size of fists.” — Barbara Calderón   “rodeo heart-teeth clenched- wide mouth-looking bush” was made while June was in residence at MacDowell in early fall of 2025. #MadeAtMacDowell
