Sparks Gallery’s programming in 2022 explores the theme and concept of “Perspective” from exhibited and represented artists at the gallery. To kick off the Summer, Charlene Mosley, one of five represented artists at the gallery, debuts her strongest work to date in her solo show, “Pollinators”, which will be on view alongside our popular small works show, “minis”. The small works show will feature a number of Southern California artists, and brings a variety of talent in many different mediums. Mosley’s new work reveals her love and fascination for nature and the insects, birds, bees and other animals that play a vital ecological role in pollinating the world’s flowering plants. She strives to celebrate their beauty as well as their resilience. Mosley notes, “One remarkable insect, the Monarch, is known to be the only butterfly to migrate over 3000 miles to perpetuate its species all the while carrying thousands of pollen grains from one flower to another. That seems like a miracle when considering the mere fact that metamorphosing into a butterfly alone is highly unlikely with only a 10% chance of survival from its egg form to adulthood.”
