The Latino Banner Art Show
 
“ECOLOGY SYMMETRY”

September 2 to November 15

A special artist reception will be held on October 4 from 6 to 9 p.m.

This free event is open to all and your chance to meet the artists, hear live Latino music and enjoy light refreshments. The library is located at 124 S. Mission Road in Fallbrook.

Curated by artist Daniel Marquez, the show is an invitation to the public to consider “Ecology as the network that interactively connects all life on Earth.” This is a call for the expression and focus on the conservation and protection of the Planet. In their own style, each artist captures this subject of Ecology and the challenge to use a Symmetrical Composition for this exhibition. Symmetry in nature refers to the existence of structures that exhibit a balanced and harmonious form in relation to a center or a reference point and manifests itself as radial or bilateral symmetry. Radial symmetry is found in organisms such as flowers where the elements are organized around a common center, so that if a line is drawn from the center to any point in the structure, a similar form will be found on both sides of the line. Bilateral symmetry is found when the organism is divided into two halves, each half being an equal image of the other as in creatures such as butterflies and humans. The Mexico/USA collaboration has always existed. Artists on either side of the border and their love for the earth, emphasize their different experiences by working with this theme of Ecology that inspires awareness. Also, the spectator can acquire original art with this format of banners. We use less material in the creation of art and the packaging for transportation, causing less waste for the planet. In these uncertain times with the changes from global warming, pandemic, war, and political conflicts art inspires us to pause and reflect on our humanity and gives hope for the future.
