Eyelevel’s ERI XI Exhibition

Why Sit and Whine When

You Can Have Some Wine ?

Public Poster/ Illustrations

Synopsis

Nahom artwork Why Sit and Whine When You Can Have Some Wine? was featured across North End and Downtown Halifax as part of Eyelevel's ERI XI exhibition, presented with Nocturne: Art at Night. The open call asked artists to reflect on the context of advertising itself, and Nahom responded with a contemporary twist on ancient Greek vase art, using bold shades of purple, black, and white to blend classical aesthetics with modern humor.

Displayed on public posters, the artwork playfully subverts advertising, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and smile, turning familiar ad spaces into moments of cultural storytelling.

Shown throughout Nocturne on October 18, 2025, the piece remains available as a limited-edition print through Eyelevel's bookstore.
