Exhibitions: Drew Mosley | Biophilia

Wall Space Gallery is proud to present a curated selection of works by Ottawa Artist Drew Mosley.
Mosley’s ability to capture narrative is impressive. He combines elements from his study of natural history, mycology, ancient civilizations and social evolution. His works tie together contemporary concerns of collapsing ecosystems, hyper-consumerism, and capitalism. Played out across Mosley’s canvases are stories of misguided notions of wealth and social status. In a world with an uncertain future, the characters populating Mosley’s fairy-tale environments; owls, rabbits, foxes, serpents and wolves offer examples of empathy, community and reverence for nature. Mosley’s overall oeuvre speaks to a desire for an existence with greater environmental and social consciousness. Mosley is driven by a self-described “artistic obsession,” but also the need to create awareness for the environmental issues he sees as important. “I am always wanting to improve, never satisfied and never done.”
The title for Mosley’s show “Biophilia” is derived from a term coined by Harvard naturalist Dr. Edward O. Wilson to describe humanity’s “innate tendency to focus on life and lifelike processes,” and to be drawn toward nature, to feel an affinity for it, a love, a craving.
The Artist will attend the Vernissage: Saturday, February 8 @ 3 – 5 pm.
