"Jeremy Mora: Sculpture"

Mark Wolfe Contemporary Art presents "Jeremy Mora: Sculpture," February 1st through March 23rd, 2007.

49 Geary Street, Suite 200
San Francisco, CA 94108

Mora, a Los-Angeles-based sculptor, creates miniature landscapes using humble materials. Mora draws inspiration from bonsai, dollhouses, dioramas, and architectural models, objects united, according to the artist, by their status as idealized miniature environments, where humans can exert “complete control” over nature. Mora’s vignettes push viewers to approach the landscape, not as a natural phenomenon of sublime grandeur, but as a cultural phenomenon, a place suffused with history.

An Arizona native, Mora graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2004. Since his graduation, Mora has lived and worked in downtown Los Angeles. Mora has been in group exhibitions in Chicago and Los Angeles, and was recently featured at Pulse Miami (2006). In 2006, Mora held his first solo exhibition at the Richard Heller Gallery in Santa Monica, California.

A reception for the artist will be held on Thursday, Feb. 1, 2007.
