‘La Lune’ Group Exhibition @ Haven Gallery

beautifulbizarre_issue013_print & digital

This summer, Haven Gallery is presenting a group exhibition exploring various mythologies surrounding the moon and its artistic interpretations. The gallery invited a diverse group of New Contemporary artists to interpret the theme freely and create a number of artworks that reflect their personal fascinations and perspectives while using the medium of their choice, and in their own style. Expect to see a naughty Sailor Moon painting among a number of dark surrealistic works, a mesmerizing art doll among a group of hand-embellished fine art photographs, an ethereal digital painting among a group of oil paintings, tapestries among a diverse group of drawings, and more! If you happen to be in the gallery’s vicinity on June 25, 2016, stop by the gallery for the opening reception of the exhibition. Many of the exhibiting artists are going to be there!

Press Release:

The moon has pervaded history, culture, myth and the natural sciences since the earliest people walked the planet. Multiple meanings interpreted through forms of magic, folklore, empirical theories and conclusions, religious scriptures and more can be found among cultures from all over the world.

The luminescence and reoccurring nightly presence of the moon has been a constant for all living things on Earth. Life as we know it would be vastly different without the existence of a moon. With the earliest purpose thought to be as simple as a light source at night to modern day understandings of its effect on the Earth’s rotation and tides, the moon has found itself playing a fundamental role in the lifespans of all forms of life on this planet. Consequently, the appearance of the moon is a natural phenomenon accepted and embraced by all societies and resultantly, permeates all forms of popular media and culture.

“La Lune” asks artists to contemplate and create a work of art based off of these empirical, spiritual, fantastical and/or religious views of the moon amidst historical and contemporary society. Interpretations may span past humanity to include the effects of the phases of the moon on the animal kingdom and botany as well. Additionally, inspiration will be derived from ancient times, such as goddesses of Greek Mythology dedicated to the moon to modern day media including comics, movies and music.
