NEW YORK, NY
.-Anna Zorina Gallery opened Apparitions, Alonsa Guevaras third solo exhibition with the Gallery. In her latest bodies of work, Guevara continues her celebration of the natural world, this time exploring the mysterious connection of human existence to the cosmic energy of the universe. In these works, the artist represents her investigations into states of higher consciousness through depicting the patterns, shapes, and images that have appeared in the artists dreams and meditations. These altered states are presented in otherworldly paintings, composed of flora and fauna that form larger kaleidoscopic patterns. Through her paintings, Guevara endeavors to elevate the everyday fruit, flower, or fauna into the realm of the divine.
