ON VIEW: SEP 6—OCT 4, 2025



Adrian Bermeo’s exhibition No Need To Reminisce, at Liv Gallery in Lower East Side, Manhattan, offers an introspective call-to-action towards cultural erasure and censorship. The spirit-driven imagery, to what Bermeo refers to as, “abstracted ancestors”, voice messages on the urgency of honoring familial narratives amidst recent political intents on undermining diversity, inclusion, and the integrity of historical archives—specifically reflecting newly passed executive orders against marginalized people. Repelling from divisive actions against equity and progress relating to inevitable American ties to emigration, the collection of figurative artworks act as a testament to the fact that our elders, our truths, and our identities will never disappear; they transition and adapt through ourselves. No Need To Reminisce expands on the preservation of communal histories not by looking back, but by honoring one’s existing lineage as a living ethos.

The series of new paintings, made with unconventional brushes and improvisational gestures, are layered with ink, acrylic, spray paint, and coffee grounds—referencing the artist's own relationships with graffiti and Newyorican subculture. Composed of folkloric symbolism, emoji iconography, and scratched messaging of the artist’s personal commentary and mantras, Bermeo’s figures are directed to the viewer with offerings of reflection: How are you healing? How do you communicate with your family—or yourself? What is not serving you? What matters most? Who tells the story of you?
