Amuse begins with a promise, a flicker of anticipation. It evokes a pause, a diversion, a brief release from ordinary time. To be amused is to be granted a pocket of space where the stakes are lower and the colors seem brighter. It is in this territory, shaped by pleasure, fantasy, and their enduring role in American visual culture, that this exhibition unfolds.

Ricco/Maresca Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new painted plates by Gil Batle. The show marks the gallery’s first presentation devoted exclusively to this body of work, following Batle’s debut Hatched in Prison (2015), the solo exhibition Re-Formed (2018), and a one-person booth at the Independent Art Fair (2019). Taken together, those earlier presentations established Batle as a singular chronicler of incarceration and survival, incising dense narratives into ostrich eggshells and other fragile supports. The plates carry that vision into a different register: flat, frontal, domestic, and deceptively familiar.
