SUPERMARKET👨🏻🍳
Thank you to everyone who came out for the opening last night!!💖
Make sure to stop by @bacapompanoarts if you missed it
💫up until APRIL 24th💫
As Liv Cook’s first fully independent solo exhibition, SUPERMARKET marks a shift from adaptation to authorship. Where her debut last year allowed for concealment through collaboration, this exhibition claims full ownership of voice and intent. It reflects a moment of transition, navigating between control and release, protection and longing, and the uncertainty that follows clarity.
Raised in an environment shaped by chaos, instability became a learned form of safety. As stability has become attainable, Cook confronts the impulse to return to instability as comfort, recognizing it as regression rather than progress. This body of work reflects a conscious decision to remain present through change instead of retreating into previous survival patterns.
SUPERMARKET examines identity through the tension between the physical and nonphysical. The work questions where humanity resides and how much of it can be accessed through the external alone. When only surface is offered, a sense of absence emerges, revealing how humanity exists beyond the physical, even as much of daily interaction remains skin deep.
The exhibition includes large scale portraiture and handmade masks that function as forms of containment and translation. Influenced by 1970s to 1990s alternative, club, and queer culture, the work considers how identity forms through repetition, exposure, and the systems we move through daily, implicitly shaping and nourishing us. From this position, Cook steps out of concealment and into authorship.

Loui and I will be discussing my creative process and current solo exhibition, SUPERMARKET, in the gallery beginning at 6pm. Loui is currently BaCA’s Alumni Artist in Residence, so we will also be discussing the residency program experience and the path it has facilitated for creative and professional growth.
Afterwards, I’ll be opening up my studio, and you’ll be invited to observe a demo and preview some new work I’ll be including in the final residency group show in June. 🌻✨
