Gallery 16 is pleased to present Blast Off from Earth!!, an exhibition of new paintings by Los Angeles based artist Maysha Mohamedi. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery and will be on view through March 29, 2019, with an opening reception on Friday, February 1st from 6 to 9pm.
Inspired by ideas of departure, evacuation, family, wonder, inheritance, fate and the ways in which we have rendered uninhabitable this earth that we inherited, Blast Off from Earth!! is an exhibition of eight paintings that will accompany humankind as they depart from Earth in the year 2081. The paintings commemorate the global relocation effort to a new human colony on extrasolar planet Kepler-442b. Created in hues of sea blue, earth green, and glacier white, they serve to honor the once-virile surface of an expiring planet.
