Hooks-Epstein Galleries presents "Golden Hour", a summer group exhibition bringing together three contemporary artists—Angel Oloshove, Liv Johnson, and Gaby Hurtado-Ramos—whose distinct visual languages collectively evoke golden hour as both a visual experience and a threshold between states of being. Through a captivating multi-medium dialogue, the artists explore transformation across material, environmental, and social contexts. Infused with the warmth and sentiment of summer, "Golden Hour" reflects on the lingering quality of longer days and those brief moments when light softens, perception shifts, and the familiar appears newly illuminated.

2026 ARTIST STATEMENT:
Gaby Hurtado-Ramos is an artist making drawings, prints, zines, and multimedia work around the cracks and glimmers of queer social life. Freeze frames of dancing figures, scenes from a venue, and party decorations make up their layered approach through photography, screen-printing, and drawing. Through documenting real and imagined scenes, Hurtado-Ramos captures moments of intimacy and transcendence.
