Mythoscape

J. P. Aleksander

Enter the surreal world of Mythoscape, a collection of paintings by JP. Aleksander that combines myths, history, and the natural world in imaginative and thought-provoking ways.

The term "Mythoscape" is meant to suggest a new kind of landscape, one that is shaped not only by physical features, but also by myths, legends, and stories. In this context, the paintings represent different “Mythoscapes,” or otherworldly universes where myths and reality intersect.  Each painting will transport you to a dreamlike realm, where modern-day struggles and ancient tales collide.

JP. Aleksander is a Polish-born artist who has resided in Michigan since 1985. An academic pursuit of the sciences led Aleksander to a Ph.D. in materials science and engineering, fields in which he has had distinguished academic and industrial carriers. Throughout this time, he also pursued his passion for painting, and, upon retirement, adopted creating art as a full-time pursuit. 

Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind exhibition that celebrates the power of the imagination and the enduring myths that shape our understanding of the world.
