Collection: David Mejia: "The Age of Enlightenment" Solo Exhibition

KALEID Gallery is proud to present:

The Age of Enlightenment David V. Mejia solo exhibition

We owe much to the thinkers and innovators of the Enlightenment period. Explorers, inventors, mathematicians, scientists, politicians, philosophers, and writers changed people’s lives, how they see the world, challenging the thousand-year-old Medieval authority.  This was the dawn of our modern world. My art show explores some of the key figures like Isaac Newton, John Locke, Voltaire, and others who gave us concepts we take for granted today, such as gravity, representational government, and Liberty.  I’ve pulled together my interest in Western history and philosophy, with a blend of art styles from early European paintings and political cartoons, modern comics, caricature art, and watercolors. This is my labor of love I’ve devoted the past year to. I hope you enjoy it and come away with a greater interest and fascination with our shared modern cultural beginnings.

“I’m a firm believer in the use of art as a tool to bridge the gap between the subjective and the objective.“ ~David Mejia
