Mythoscape
JP Aleksander
on display May 18 – July 8, 2023
Enter the surreal world of Mythoscape, a collection of paintings by JP. Aleksander that combines myths, history and natural world in imaginative and thought provoking ways.
The term “Mythoscape” is meant to suggest a new kind of landscape, one that is shaped not only by physical features, but also by myths, legends, and stories. In this context, the paintings represent different “Mythoscapes”, or otherworldly universes where myths and reality intersect. Each painting will transport you to a dreamlike realm, where modern-day struggles and ancient tales collide.
Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind exhibition that celebrates the power of the imagination and the enduring myths that shape our understanding of the world.
The exhibit Mythoscape by JP Aleksander will be the inspiration for one-of-a-kind floral arrangements created by our partnering floral artists for the event.
