Live, Laugh, Love is an exhibition of paintings by New York-based artist Pablo Barba. Drawing from stock imagery, social media, and Internet meme culture, Barba contextualizes contemporary scenes in the tradition of petit genre painting. Utilizing themes such as the “merry company” as a point of departure, his paintings depict small groups of characters in familiar situations drawn from everyday life. - A H F T A W
