September 14, 2024  — Supermarket’s Second Exhibition

Abuela’s House
Desi Swoope


Our second show was the very first for Desi Swoope. Abuela’s House, opened on September 14, 2024, as the artist’s debut solo exhibition. Desi, 26, originally from Port Saint Lucie, now living and working in Miami, is a multidisciplinary artist who, with this exhibition, began a transition from more of a commercial art focus doing large-scale murals for big-name clients to a deep pursuit of developing and showcasing her intention-filled personal work.
The pieces featured in “Abuela’s House” serve as a love letter to her personal and creative roots, an ode to her great-grandmother who inspired Desi’s artistry. Her playful mix of paint and eclectic found fabrics helped give new life, context, and perspective to old family albums, textures, and dialogue of stories that deserve to be.
