< Back Laurus Myth JAN 25 - APR 27 Portals & Passages: An evolution of paintings, sculptures, and social magic Local artist Laurus Myth debuts Portals and Passages, her first solo exhibition at the Triton Museum of Art, 1505 Warburton Ave. (January 25 - April 27, 2025.) Portals and Passages is a reflection point, weaving together Laurus’ portfolio of work across disciplines. From vivid colors, patterns, and layered paintings evolving into sculptural forms, Myth leans into art to tell stories of connection and relationship. Myth’s visual language is influenced by nature, technology, and intuition as they use symbols to decode their experience. Portals and Passages transforms Triton’s Warburton Gallery with works that draw viewers through moments of connection. This expansive body of work bridges dualities: technology-nature, movement-stillness, internal-external, and day-night. Artist Statement: Laurus Myth is an Asian-American interdisciplinary artist raised in Silicon Valley. A born innovator, Myth follows a creative and intuitive path as she fabricates and curates intentional spaces. Drawn to sacred architecture and mental landscapes, her work is colorful, symbolic, and deeply immersive. Myth’s experiential practices birthed several installations she calls “Social Magic.” Visually drawing– these playful and often temporary installations invite us to connect with our narratives and become part of a larger story. The artist turns the museum's gallery into a spatial story with codes and keys leading us to places unseen. Portals and Passages distill the last decade of Social Magic into new queries, forms, paintings, and sculptures. Previous Next

Book Club Monthly meetings on the first Wednesdays of each month 9:30 - 10:30 AM PST at the Triton Museum of Art. (doors open at 9:00 a.m. for coffee and donuts; presentation begins at 9:30 a.m.) We invite you to read selected novels about art or famous artists before we meet, and then join us on the first Wednesday morning of each month, for an art history presentation about that month’s novel, the portrayed artist, and related art, as presented by Triton Museum Executive Director Preston Metcalf and Triton Museum Associate Curator Vanessa Callanta. Learn how the novel does — or doesn’t — comport to the actual history of its subject, and hear more about the artwork and the artists’ times in which they were created. Admission to the monthly book club art history lectures is free for Triton Museum of Art Members ($5 donation requested for non-members), and all are welcome, whether you have actually read the book or not. Coffee and pastries will be served. Discussions are held safely distanced & in person at the Triton Museum of Art Free for TMA members, $5 suggested donation for non-members Take a look at what we'll be reading for 2025! DOWNLOAD OPENING SOON This Upcoming Month's Book: Hamlet: Prince of Denmark by William Shakespeare January 8th, 2025 In the 16th and early 17th Centuries, our view of humanity, and what it means to be human, were irrevocably changed, in no small part due to three great creators: William Shakespeare, Michel de Montaigne, and Michelangelo. Hamlet by William Shakespeare is a classic tragedy that delves into themes of revenge, corruption, madness, betrayal, and family ties. This play follows the story of Prince Hamlet of the Kingdom of Denmark who is struggling to move forward after the sudden death of his father, King Hamlet. The play conveys Hamlet's internal and external struggles as his suspicions of how his father died begin to unravel before him. Throughout the play, Hamlet's various actions and inactions delve into the complexities of morality, vengeance, and justice. Join us as the Triton Museum's Executive Director, Preston Metcalf, shows how Hamlet, Montaigne’s Essays, and Michelangelo’s David changed the way we see ourselves, and in doing so, altered the portrayal of the human in art and literature from then on.
