expired memories
Afro-Caribbean artist whose vibrant murals and live painting performances breathe life into walls and public spaces. For over two decades, his art has woven together tradition and modernity, transforming places like the Grand Rapids Children’s Museum and Miami’s cultural scene into dynamic stories of identity and community. His work travels beyond borders, having been shown in Art Basel Miami and exhibitions across Italy, always carrying a powerful dialogue between past and present, memory and experience.
Expired Memories invites us to journey through the fragile landscapes of memory, where vivid moments dissolve, fracture, and blend with the now. His art unfolds as a poetic meditation on how the past quietly infiltrates our present, shaping who we are in ways both visible and unseen. Through collage, painting, mixed media, and immersive installations, he creates haunting yet beautiful reflections on memory’s impermanence and power.
This exhibition explores the delicate balance between remembrance and transformation, capturing how memories shift and reshape over time. Picardo’s work becomes a bridge connecting personal histories with collective consciousness, inviting viewers to explore their own stories within a shared human experience. Expired Memories offers more than art; it is an invitation to engage with memory’s fluid nature and to find healing in the ever-changing echoes of our past
This show invites viewers to engage in a conversation between personal and collective memory, exploring how recollections evolve and reshape our understanding of identity and experience. The artworks reveal the tension between holding on and letting go, capturing how memory is both fragile and resilient. Through evocative imagery and textured surfaces, Picardo offers a space to reflect on how the past influences the present, and how we, in turn, reimagine our histories in the act of remembering.
Together, the pieces in Expired Memories create a shared journey inviting audiences to explore their own stories within a universal experience of change, loss, and renewal.
