La Luz de Jesus Gallery is pleased to present California Mythos, an exhibition by E.E. Kono on view from July 11-August 2nd, 2020.
​
Like the translucent veils of color used to create E. E. Kono’s jewel-toned egg tempera paintings, layers of
mythology both form and reveal the world. Every place, thing, and individual is the sum of narratives. Kono’s
current body of work is inspired by 16th c. Portraiture, local maritime history, and the diverse traditions that
have influenced Southern California. Her whimsical paintings of iconic creatures combine symbolism and
stories from East and West, blending modern and mystic, to create imagery that is uniquely SoCal.
Named after a fictional Arabic island in a popular 16th c. Spanish novel, California has always been at the
crossroads of East and West. For over 400 years, from Spanish galleons to corporate freighters, ships have
carried treasures to SoCal’s shore. Alongside silks, spices, and ceramics, ships’ holds have transported
mystic tales from faraway lands. Over time these mythologies converged, and their deities settled in the
deep offshore canyons of Santa Monica Bay, subtly influencing California’s culture, waiting for the day they
would rise and be seen.

A fantastical bestiary for modern times, Beast explores the symbolism we give to animals both real and imagined. Ancient bestiaries assigned moral lessons to beasts, ascribing them miraculous powers or using them to symbolize our aspirations, desires, and fears. Even today, we equate strength with lions, rebirth with butterflies, sly trickery with foxes; we depict beasts in art/literature/film and on our bodies as carriers of meaning, as something bigger than ourselves, not only spiritually or intellectually, but also sometimes even physically. Beast includes work from artists Roberto Benavidez, Ariel Bowman, Christopher Brand, Douglas Cason, Einar and Jamex de la Torre, Laurie Hogin, E. E. Kono, Jeff Soto, and Donald Roller Wilson.

Icons of New Khitan
The Khitan were a nomadic people who, from the 4th century on, inhabited a great swath of western Asia along the silk road. Their name is the root for the Russian word for China, Китай as well as the English word for the mythical Cathay. Long before the Khitan ruled the steppes, cultural supremacy cycled between East and West along the trade routes. Now, after five centuries of Western dominance, mass revitalization of the silk road’s landlocked infrastructure reflects a shifting of cultural power to the East. This cyclical shift once led to the ascendancy of patriarchal/monotheistic religions and social constructs whose imbalance have ultimately endangered the planet. The iconic imagery in this body of work explores the idea that our era’s current chaos, while threatening stability, also has the potential to elevate a New Khitai and may provide a redemptive rebalance of power towards nature and the feminine.

La Luz De Jesus Gallery proudly presents our annual juried group exhibition, LALUZAPALOOZA. This gigantic, no-theme show features works from some of the freshest and most relevant artists working today. Again we sorted through tens of thousands of submissions from commercial illustrators, graphic designers, tattooists, scenics, students, street taggers, animators and working gallery artists. How many will we show this year? There are 160+ pieces from 65 or so artists, continuing the tradition of the most exclusive selection of tastefully, jam-packed, salon-style exhibited works in Post-Pop. There are some familiar names from our ever-growing roster of feature artists, alongside a promising batch of previously undiscovered, emerging talent.
