“Visceral” encapsulates the profound, gut-level impact of the artwork created by both Izzie Beirne and K.T. Kobel, engaging directly with the body’s instinctual responses. This quality is pivotal in their exploration of trauma, healing, and the human condition, as it captures the raw, unmediated reactions that such deep, personal experiences provoke. Through their distinct but complementary approaches, Beirne and Kobel create spaces where the instinctual becomes a channel for empathy, understanding, and healing. Their art does not shy away from the discomfort of these deep, unsettling emotions. Instead, it embraces the visceral as a powerful tool for communication and transformation, inviting viewers to feel, to empathize, and to reflect on the complex layers of human experience.
