The Bill of Wrongs

Bailey Contemporary Arts Center
Jan 03 - Jan 31

In this exhibition, the artist will be displaying 10 paintings based on the Bill of Rights; our first ten United States Amendments.

We are a nation of Laws and Nino Liguori, ALIGUORI will be taking his allegorical oil paintings to demonstrate the unexplored, contradictory, or commonly misconstrued nature of our most fundamental birthrights. The United States is not the Nation it was when James Madison and Thomas Jefferson agreed on the Bill of Rights. ALIGUORI aims to demonstrate where we might be now and moreover, where we may be headed.

Typical to his tongue and cheek nature, these allegorical paintings will be, according to the artist, “A twisted and surreal take on our first ten amendments; a visualization of our inalienable rights.”

Nino Liguori has always enjoyed telling stories through his paintings, which are visual parables and allegories. His work alludes to art history, design, innovation, and humanity itself, intertwining fable and fact, imagination and realism. An art educator, he has worked with diverse socio-economic and racial groups in Broward County and was twice a finalist for Visual Arts Educator of the Year.

Liguori advanced his painting studies by obtaining a master's degree in Europe and Asia. He studied at The Academie de Beaux Arts in Paris, collaborated with art collectives in Rome, and learned brush and breathing techniques in East Asia. His artwork has been featured in New York Magazine and Hi-Fructose Magazine. Honoring both his Italian heritage and the storytelling nature of his work, he signs his paintings “ALIGUORI.”
