Mythoscape Opening Reception

Posted 2 May 2023

Mythoscape Opening Reception

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.

Artist Lecture: May 18, 2023, 4 p.m.
Public opening reception: May 18, 2023. 5-7 p.m.

Exhibit on display May 18 – July 9, 2023
