La Luz de Jesus Gallery is pleased to present “Boundless”, a group exhibition featuring work by Andrea Guzzetta, Marisa Avila Sayler, Devon Walz, and Rachel Silva from February 11 th – March 5th, 2023. Never are we more limitless than when are children. Our imaginations are free of reality’s anchor and we gleefully color outside the lines to create defiantly simple and unique images. Our youthful creative process centers purely on visceral visual pleasure: fun colors, favorite animals, and uncomplicated shapes. As we age, our world begins to shrink. We start to prefer complexity, muted color palettes and academic rules about composition and perspective to the juvenile joys of boundless artmaking. Many artists, like the ones in this show, are able to take the freedom found in their younger years of creativity and evolve it into an otherworldly surrealist escape that ties both the dreamlike aesthetic of youth with the analytical perspective that comes with adulthood. Surrealism in art has always held the contradictory ability to weave the real and unreal together, resulting in a poignant statement with tangible implications.
