'Layers of Earth'
Two-person exhibition with Paula Bosco at Sage Culture, Los Angeles, CA
2023
Exhibition Statement:
The show unites the outstanding works of Mitch Iburg and Paula Bosco, both profoundly connected to the natural world and driven by their exploration of the Earth's diverse landscapes.
Through their distinct process approaches, yet with similar artistic intents of portraying nature, Iburg and Bosco uncover the natural world's layers of meaning and beauty.
Both artists' processes also involve deep material research and show a concern with sustainable practices. Natural dyes and organic resources are used consciously to achieve harmony and balance. At the same time, it evokes a sense of calmness and brings the history behind the process in every created piece. Iburg and Bosco guide us on a multisensory voyage to ignite the imagination, evoking memories of distant landscapes and unexplored realms. Within these textured terrains, their works find resonance, inviting us to contemplate the profound interconnectedness between humanity and the natural world.
