“Prophecy of the End” a solo exhibition by Samantha Joy Groff opens tonight at Nicodim Gallery New York, on view until December 7th
Groff’s exhibition delves into apocalyptic imagery, reinterpreting religious narratives through a contemporary lens. Her latest series evokes a sense of foreboding, exploring themes of ritual, exorcism, and divine confrontation. The artist skillfully blurs the boundaries between possession and salvation, presenting women as their own mediators in battles against unseen forces. The eeriness, combined with the absence of traditional authority figures, reflects broader questions of autonomy, control, and the instability of the present moment.
