The Secret Of NIMH (1982) Dir. Don Bluth

Leilani Bustamante’s “Diabolica” at Modern Eden Gallery.

I don’t know how I missed this one but currently on display at Modern Eden Gallery San Francisco, California until March 26th, 2016 (Sorry!) is Leilani Bustamante’s solo show of new work “Diabolica.”

From the press release: “The natural and unnatural world requires balance. As in life and death, light and shadow, above and below one cannot exist without the other. The hero is locked in a symbiotic dependency with its nemesis. Whether it is an angel, a soldier of justice where goodness is righteous or a demon, an agent of malice where destruction of morality reigns supreme both sides are ferociously absolute. These stories of the occult are as old as the theme itself. They are a complex telling of an age old battle.  Angel and demon lore have long represented a conflict that have been raging since the dawn of man.  It is a conflict that continues to rage in all of us today.”

Bustamante’s work deals with all of this in fantastic fashion.  Check it out if you have the chance before the show closes.
