Alexandra Levasseur: EMBEDDED OPTIMISM Opening Reception
Mirus Gallery is pleased to present EMBEDDED OPTIMISM, a solo exhibition by artist Alexandra Levasseur. EMBEDDED OPTIMISM aims to play in the unification of ceramics and paintings to tell stories of nature as well as the mythological. The opening reception of EMBEDDED OPTIMISM will be July 29th, VIP/Press Opening 6-7 PM then general admission from 7-10 pm, and the exhibition is free and open to the public for viewing through September 30th.
About the Exhibition:
Through painting, sculpture and animated films, I intend to illustrate an ideal relationship between humans and nature. My work is driven by a deep interest in, on the one hand, Physics and Biology and, on the other, Mythology and the mystical interpretations that one can draw from nature, in order to expose the surrealism of the world.
Lately, the integration of fired clay into my practice allows me to shape works that will last over time, while being in direct contact with the earth. I am particularly interested in the physical imprint that is inscribed in the material as a testimony to the act of human creation.
This exhibition entitled EMBEDDED OPTIMISM presents works that combine painting, drawing and ceramics on wood panels and fired clay sculptures.
