For a long time, NOVO has painted the things he holds dear - basketballs, paper airplanes, sneakers, Hello Kitty, and old stickers that have lost their shine. Some have been with him since childhood. Others have resurfaced only recently.

He collects objects, but not just to own them. His way of collecting is closer to remembering. Objects lead him back to emotions, and emotions guide his images. The scenes that emerge feel personal, yet familiar. Like something that could have belonged to anyone.

This exhibition, More Bounce, More Hope, traces the emotional rhythms he has returned to again and again. “Bounce” doesn’t just describe the motion of a ball. It’s the reflex of the body, the push against the ground, the kind of energy that makes you laugh before you think. NOVO believes hope begins somewhere in that bounce.
