\u00e2\u20ac\u0153LA DIOSA\u00e2\u20ac\u009d – A sculptural \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Other-World\u00e2\u20ac\u009d multi media exhibition <\/strong>by Artist LT. Mustardseed<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Exhibition runs from September 4 through <\/span>September 30, 2011; o<\/span>pening Reception for the artist: <\/span>September 8, 2011<\/span> from <\/span>7 pm \u00e2\u20ac\u201c 11pm<\/span><\/p>\n

We are pleased to present an \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Other-World\u00e2\u20ac\u009d sculptural exhibition by LA based artist LT Mustardseed, that merges two spiritually powerful worlds: The Pre-Columbian Aztecan belief system of gods and goddesses and the impeccable Catholic iconography of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153La Virgin de Guadalupe\u00e2\u20ac\u009d  <\/span>(The Empress Mother of the <\/span>Americas<\/span>). <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition \u00e2\u20ac\u0153La Diosa\u00e2\u20ac\u009d is located at Gallery 1927 in the Fine Arts Building 811 W <\/span>7th Street<\/span>, <\/span>LA<\/span> <\/span>CA<\/span> <\/span>90017<\/span>.  <\/span>The gallery is open for viewing 24hrs a day through <\/span>September 30th 2011<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

LT\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s vision of building a monumental sculpture of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153La Virgin de Guadalupe\u00e2\u20ac\u009d was a dream followed by a series of coincidences. LT\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s process unfolded after several research trips through central Mexico, Mexico City and the famous basilica of Tepeyac, (the hill on which \u00e2\u20ac\u0153La Virgin de Guadalupe\u00e2\u20ac\u009d appeared to Juan Diego in 1531). Tepeyac is also believed to have been the Pre-Columbian worship site for the indigenous mother goddess Tonantzin.<\/span><\/p>\n

This body of work expands LT\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s capabilities and genre type from fantastical insects and nature environments to embrace mythical Aztecan figures and the challenges of new sculptural techniques and fabrication.<\/span><\/p>\n

LT presents us with her sculptural interpretations using found objects, taxidermy, welded metal and machinery to awaken the deities from the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Otherworld\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.  <\/span>LT also embraces religious stigmata, 17th century <\/span>New Spain<\/span>, elaborate santo cage dolls, and Milagros (miracles).<\/span><\/p>\n

“I am not a catholic or claim any singular religious group I am spiritual, my creations come to me in dreams.  <\/span>With all respect intended to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153La Virgin de Guadalupe\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and her followers, this exhibition is about the spiritual integrity of Art and not the Catholic church belief systems.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/p>\n
