Myplasticheart is excited to announced Unnatural Selection featuring new works by Lou Pimentel and Leontine Greenburg. The show will be opening Friday June 29th from 6-9 pm, and will run until Jul 29. The exhibition will feature each artists interpretation of the theme, "in which nature adapts to the technology of today". 

“In our built environment, humans typically try to eradicate or control nature. These paintings explore what happens when nature fights back, absorbing and re-adapting the technology meant to contain it. In this world, nature tends to have a sense of humor and a genuine fondness for engineering.”

 

- Leontine Greenberg



” These creatures, took matters into their own hands. Using found objects, they created makeshift versions of things they felt would give them an advantage in today’s world. Some of the changes are purely for aesthetic purposes. Attracting a mate, and procreating is important for the continuation of a species. BUT, some of the other improvements are much more radical, like using satellite technology to find food and migration patterns. We’ve been using Google maps for years, and it is about time the animal kingdom got on board.”

- Lou Pimentel
