Imaginary Cartography
Immerse yourself in the spiritually-infused world of French American artist Marthe Aponte as the Palmdale Playhouse hosts her solo exhibition from February 29th to March 28th. Drawing artistic inspiration from her global upbringing across France, Venezuela, and California, her mixed media paintings and collages reflect influences from African, Australian Aboriginal, and Latina traditions. As she explores the poetic interface between women, trees, and nature, Marthe finds a mystical beauty in each plant that transports her. This imaginative cartography represents her interests in myths, rituals, meditation, and a personal connection with the natural realm. Having won the Beryl Amspoker Memorial Award and with works in collections across the US and Asia, she creates art that calls attention to physical and spiritual interactions with our environment. Don't miss this chance to acquire one-of-a-kind pieces from this award-winning artist living at the edge of the Mojave whose aim is to produce a sacred atmosphere through her otherworldly creations.
