Opening Reception of Jaguar Moon and My Tiny Castles

In this exhibit, explore the works of two D.C. artists who, though drawing inspiration from different sources and working in different media, both celebrate the magic and splendor of our worlds. In his paintings and prints in Jaguar Moon, “Brocha Silvestre” Mariano Arrien-Gomez shares some of the wonder he experienced while living in Bolivia, one of the most bio-diverse places on earth. And in her miniature sculptural collages in My Tiny Castles, Lea Barcus invites viewers to delight in imaginative play and to find beauty and meaning in the overlooked and discarded.

Please join us for an afternoon with Lea Barcus, who will share how she transforms found objects into intricate sculptural collages. As part of a visual tour she will give of the various materials and techniques she uses in creating My Tiny Castles, Lea will demonstrate the versatile technique of needle felting.

Please join us for a talk with Brocha Silvestre as he shares what he learned about our bio-diverse world during his time living in Bolivia and how this influenced his artistic practices and inspired his current works in Jaguar Moon. Linger afterwards to meet fellow art lovers and to explore the exhibit.

Please join us and enjoy once more the art of Jaguar Moon and My Tiny Castles before the exhibit closes.
