> DESCRIPTION

Pharmaka is proud to announce the opening of "New Mythologies", curated by LA artists Shane Guffogg. This exhibition examines how six LA based women artists are creating a new visual mythology. These artists, all independent of each other, create personal and universal images that delve into how the world works from a spiritual, psychological and a scientific view with all levels existing simultaneously. Animal forms find their way into many images. One artist uses the manifestation of human emotions to form into animals, while another combines found animal parts to fabricate humanoid forms. In still another's work, animals are depicted realistically but exist as a part of a combined reality. The invisible energies that create the natural world are brought into our world through complex lines on paper or pigment on canvas. These six artists give us different views of the world we live in, adding a deeper understanding of the natural while furthering the mythology of the supernatural.
