Daydreams

Nicolette Checcoli's poetic and unsettling works play with contradictions, colliding the hidden dark sides of toys, childhood fears, and sweet dreams with nostalgia for lost innocence. The innocently sensual heroines of the artist seduce, unaware of it, and show that immersion in a world of wonders and pleasures cannot go unpunished. Behind the fleetingness and brevity of pleasures, pain inevitably lurks.
