Fall is in full swing here at K. Imperial. To kick off our fall exhibition schedule is gallery artist, Mila Libman. Libman’s exhibition, Second Nature showcases large -scale charcoal and ink drawings, which interpret the essence of experiencing and reinventing nature.

Second Nature depicts the habit and the process that Libman has acquired through her repetitive action of reworking, and redefining while creating her meticulous drawings. Libman begins her process by taking photographs of the Sierras and selecting images in which she would like to reinvent. Her process of altering, and distorting the photograph, ultimately allows the drawing to take its own form of representation.
While blurring the lines of reality with abstraction, the drawings establish a personal orientation while preserving and adding elegance to the serene imagery. Libman creates a sense of wonder with her grand meditative drawings luring the viewer in for their own contemplative thoughts and personal experience.
