Oolong Gallery is thrilled to announce its upcoming exhibition, "The Room of Orpheus," on view from Nov. 1 to Dec. 11, 2024. This is the second show in Oolong's new permanent Rancho Santa Fe gallery space featuring work by four Southern California based artists: Jasmine Little, Derek Simons, Stan Kaplan, Bianca Juarez, who collectively explore themes of mythology, memory, and material in the form of ceramic sculptures and paintings. Inspired by the Mediterranean origins and mythology of Orpheus and the poignant Orphic trilogy by Jean Cocteau, alongside Philip Glass’s powerful score, "The Room of Orpheus" invites viewers into a new contemporary art space set in the Spanish Colonial town of Rancho Santa Fe, California. In relation to artists, the myth of Orpheus serves as a powerful metaphor for the creative process. Just as Orpheus's music evokes deep emotions and connects with universal themes of love, loss, and longing, artists use their mediums to explore and express the complexities of the human experience.
