✨Kathryn Garcia 🧿𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘋𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘦✨⁣ Opening Saturday, September 12th at Gavlak Los Angeles! Schedule your appointment to see the show now — link in bio. ⁣ In a time where we are seeing patriarchy fail destructively, it is important to know that there have been viable and sustainable alternatives to a culture of domination. Egalitarian, ecological and peaceful cultures that acknowledge and honor our interdependence with the Earth, the Cosmos and all of life. Spiritual cultures led by Womxn priestesses, where non-binary persons hold significant and magical roles. Cultures where the Womxn is worshipped as a powerful creatrix/destructress, and where time is a cycle of birth, death and rebirth. A culture at the very dawn of humanity, when “God was a woman, do you remember?”⁣ ⁣ 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘋𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘦 is an exhibition inspired by early Neolithic Goddess idols, where the female figure is often seen displaying Her large, magical vulva. These sacred figures embody and enact an empowered, magical female sexuality, emblematic of fertility. In ancient matrifocal cultures, we find the earliest form of abstraction where female genitalia are represented by The Sacred V- a motif found in Garcia’s work. In Garcia’s drawings the female genitals are displayed as geometric cosmologies similar to mandalas, yantras or sacred sites seen from above, and operate as meditative tools, devotional objects, and portals to inner experience. In this exhibition the artist shares a representation of the female form that challenges the historical narrative and instead enacts the numinous power of female sexuality.

Kathryn Garcia: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘋𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘦 now live on GP.LA! View the presentation online or make an appointment to see the exhibition in person at Gavlak Los Angeles, on view until Oct. 24th.⁣ 🧿 Link in bio.⁣ ⁣ “While these works very legibly present the hyper-stylized breasts and vulvic V of ancient cultural archetypes, they are much less intensely imagic and colored than Chicago’s similar forays. In their perfected shapes and pared-down fundamental forms, they speak also the macro/micro music of the spheres which captivated af Klint, also profoundly informed by her interest in Theosophical teachings as to the underlying patterns of the universe.”⁣ — Shayna Nys Dambrot for 𝘈𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘳𝘺 ⁣ ⁣ Kathryn Garcia⁣ 𝘔𝘈, 2020⁣ Colored pencil on stonehenge⁣ 50 x 38 in (127 x 96.5 cm)⁣ ___⁣ @bbydbl @galleryplatform.la @shananys @artillery_mag #kathryngarcia #theFeminineDivine #galleryassociationlosangeles #galleryplatformla #gpla #galleryplatformlosangeles #galleryassociationla (at Gavlak) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGIddBIF_KD/?igshid=10nyya73jlw9j

🌟#wisdom ➕ #divinity at Gavlak LA!✨ The exhibitions,𝘞𝘪𝘴𝘥𝘰𝘮 𝘌𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘴 and 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘋𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘦 opening on Saturday, September 12th!⁣ ⁣@kim_bo915 @bbydbl ⁣ Kim Dacres’ exhibition, 𝘞𝘪𝘴𝘥𝘰𝘮 𝘌𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘛𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘴, is an ode to #black identity, beauty, resilience, #femininity and pride. Dacres creates sculptures that speak to the presence of the #blackbody and to cultural identifiers in relation to social environments and the underlying knowledge gained from lived experience. ⁣ ⁣ Likewise, Kathryn Garcia’s 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘋𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘦 shares a representation of the female form that challenges the historical narrative and instead enacts the numinous power of female sexuality. Inspired by early Neolithic #Goddess idols, and the sacred "V" shape emblematic of fertility, Garcia’s works on paper portray female genitala as geometric #cosmologies similar to the #mandala yantra or sacred sites seen from above, and operate as meditative tools, devotional objects, and portals to #innerexperience. ⁣ ⁣ 🖤 To make an appointment to visit the gallery, or to read full press release, click the link in our bio.⁣ ⁣ Front Image:⁣ Left: Kim Dacres, 𝘗𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘩 2018-2019, Auto tires, bicycle tires, inner tubes, wood, screws, spray enamel, 42 x 24 x 18 in.⁣ Base by Daniel Alexander Matthews⁣ Right: Kathryn Garcia, 𝘉𝘪𝘳𝘥 𝘎𝘰𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘴, 2020.

🧿🌛Tap into your inner #goddess!🌜💎 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘋𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘦 is an invitation into a world of symbols. Symbols intertwined with humanity’s earliest beginnings, symbols of creation, destruction, birth, death, rebirth and inner experience. Symbols that activate potent sexual, and numinous powers. The exhibition is a journey into feminine consciousness. ⁣ ⁣ Exploring the potency of deep, elemental feminine power and the quality of female corporeality that for many folks evokes a certain kind of planetary magic, Kathryn Garcia works seek to give tangible form to this particular kind of energy. In 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘋𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘦 — a suite of paintings, sculptures, and performance-based video — we encounter resonance with canonical practitioners, but with a mindfully lighter, even minimalistic, aesthetic.⁣ ⁣ On display is the video work, 𝟸𝟶𝟸𝟶, in which Garcia performs a ritual of earth, air, water, sun, and ocean magic on the rocky coast of Ibiza, Spain. Her image is overlaid with archival footage of early cultures’ goddess iconography that fades in and out of the horizon as prismatic light reflects off of her silver pyramid sculptures, which are laid out in front of the video on the gallery floor, polished to a mirror-shine.⁣ ⁣ Kathryn Garcia: 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘋𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘦 ⁣ Installation view, GAVLAK Los Angeles⁣ ⁣ Kathryn Garcia⁣ 𝟸𝟶𝟸𝟶⁣ Edition of 3 + 2 AP⁣ Digital Video⁣ ⁣ Kathryn Garcia⁣ 𝘗𝘺𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘥, 2020⁣ Edition of 3 + 1 AP⁣ Polished stainless steel ⁣ 19 x 12 x 12 inches 💙 For sales inquiries, please email sales@gavlakgallery.com.
