ON VIEW: Jo Mata - Mare Nostrum: A Look into an Artists’s Inner Visions
Jo Mata is a self-taught mixed media Dominican artist based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She explores the human experience and the female body from a sociopolitical, philosophical and identity point of view. Creating thought-provoking art in which sensual and powerful human figures appear to be immersed in some reverie. Other times, these figures are depicted going through turmoil, tussling, and strife. At times, they exhibit a penetrating gaze towards the viewer, as if wanting to establish a connection or dialogue. In her artworks, she builds a narrative using elements of Greek mythology, but also delving into myth and legends of universal mythology to represent female archetypes and to challenge gender norms. She will exhibit with a wide span of techniques and materials, including, but not limited to, painting, drawing, engraving, sculpture, and installation in this exhibition.
