L.A. Louver is delighted to present a focused look at Matt Wedel's "Mythology Plate" series.
Rich with color, intricate patterns, and creative imagery, these nine unique works from a limited series each depict a distinctive narrative image of myth. While the narratives represented are broadly connected by a garden setting, each individual work addresses distinct stories of birth, harvest, religious practice, and ceremonies around individual caretaking.
For Wedel, the concept of “myth” is not inherently tied to a traditional, identifiable, fixed story that has been told throughout history. Instead, mythology represents the images, stories, and prompts for personal growth that are organically revealed to a person throughout their lifetime. Wedel speaks of his artistic process as a “process of listening to these images that question and those that challenge what I understand about the world.”
“I have long been interested in why the mind sees images in the world. Not images of the landscape, but within the landscape. How these images are interpreted, their relationship to the origin of myth, and what it means to record them.”
