The Merry Karnowsky Gallery is proud to present "The Hydra of Babylon," the new body of work from acclaimed Los Angeles painter Camille Rose Garcia. Garcia's latest paintings on wood and paper explore the converging ecological and human catastrophes and the healing power of nature.
Using animal symbolism borrowed from Greek mythology and inspired by intricate Islamic patterning, Garcia weaves elaborate painted tapestries that comment on resource depletion, ecological collapse and endless war, while reminding the viewer that beauty, hope and regeneration still exist.
