Alexis Mata's 'Lost Landing' Brings Glitchy Dandelions to Thinkspace Projects
Alexis Mata's solo exhibition 'Lost Landing' is on view at Thinkspace Projects in Los Angeles through July 3, 2026. The show features surreal, candy-colored landscapes populated by giant dandelions, floating cacti, and pixelated streaks that resemble digital image glitches. Mata was inspired by a walk in Tepoztlán, Mexico, where drifting dandelions sparked a sense of being on another planet. The dandelion serves as a metaphor for expansion, transformation, and the creative impulse. Paintings like 'The Sky Is Falling,' 'Garden Of Crystals And Dandelions,' and 'La Noche De Los Cactus Voladores' combine gestural brushstrokes with familiar yet alien vegetation. The exhibition runs from June 6 to July 3, 2026, at 4217 W. Jefferson Blvd., Los Angeles.
