Michael Kohn Gallery is pleased to present a show of new paintings by Camille Rose Garcia. Using the familiar fairy tale narrative from the famous Grimm Brothers’ story, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves”, this series of paintings and drawings creates a modern day allegory for our delusional relationship with nature, and the fantasies we tell ourselves about our own involvement in its destruction.
Garcia’s omnipresent themes of the delusional fairy tales we tell ourselves, and the monsters required to maintain them, mirror the ongoing horror-show created by the military-industrial complex as it intersects uncomfortably with our natural world.
