#CoolArt: Haven Gallery Artists at the 'Flora & Fauna' Group Art Exhibition at the Mesa Arts Center

Haven Gallery will have some of their regular artists exhibiting at the 'Flora & Fauna' group art exhibition at the Mesa Arts Center in Mesa, Arizona.

From bacteria to large land and sea mammals, the exhibition celebrates nature and its enduring influence in art. While many contemporary artists are instinctively drawn to various environments and the creatures that inhabit them, others are inspired by the climate change discourse and global movement to raise awareness about the human impact on the planet.

The Haven Gallery artists include Brian Mashburn, Adam Oehlers, Naoto Hattori, Nikole Cooney, Meadow & Fawn, Brin Levinson, Kane Kokaris and Jean Pierre Arboleda. Their works can be viewed on the Haven Gallery website.

The exhibition will be on view until January 26 2020 at Mesa Arts Center, 1 East Main Street, Mesa, AZ 85201.

#CoolArt: Vanilla Gallery presents 'aestheticism'

Vanilla Gallery presents ‘aestheticism’ an international group exhibition curated by Danijela Krha, Co-Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Australian contemporary art magazine beautiful.bizarre, and is an exploration of the beautiful.bizarre aesthetic, rendered through the use of different mediums, themes and materials.

“The artists I selected for this exhibition are incredibly creative and talented: their intense, psychologically-charged works, besides being technically impeccable, are conceived to replace verbal communication with a visual language capable of transcending the limits of ordinary communication. The theme ‘aestheticism’ allowed the artists an opportunity to explore the beautiful.bizarre aesthetic, to consider what represents beauty across cultures, continents and mediums. To explore both the culturally accepted notions of beauty and those dark hidden places inside our hearts that are drawn to the evocative darkness, to the odd things, to the macabre, and to the sharp and visceral moments of our experience.” ~ Danijela Krha
