Modern Eden Gallery proudly presents In Bloom an exciting new solo exhibition from gallery artist Leilani Bustamante. This exhibition marks her sixth major solo at the gallery and we are excited to present a brand new body of work from the Oakland-based artist.
Artist Statement: ‘In Bloom’ is an examination of an emotion or experience. Drawing from the aesthetic influences and opulence of vintage opera and theater houses, the landscape of color and geometry spread out like a kaleidoscope. Like the swelling of an overture, the narrative unfurls itself in a scene of sumptuous fabrics and patterns.
It becomes a reflection of one moment in slow explosion that is ever expanding.
Leilani Bustamante was born in Santa Rosa California and is a graduate of the Academy of Art University. She grew up between the suburban sprawl and rural Fort Bragg, where she draws inspiration from their simultaneous decay and growth. Her work often voices themes of mortality exploring elements of death, rebirth, beauty and spoil, the loveliness of the macabre and the mournful influence of osteological motifs. She currently resides in the San Francisco Bay Area.
