Imagine wandering the mountains of Mexico, watching dandelions float by, and suddenly feeling like you’ve been dropped straight to another planet. It is precisely this otherworldly epiphany that inspired artist Alexis Mata to create his mesmerizing new exhibition, Missed Landing.
Exhibited at Thinkspace projects in Los Angeles, this collection is an absolute journey. Mata paints dreamily, candy-colorful landscape scenes filled with towering cliffs, giant dandelions and floating cacti. But here’s the cool twist: it slices through those traditional views with long, pixelated streaks of color that look just like digital glitches. It is a beautiful, surreal combination of untouched nature and modern technology.
For Alexis Eyesthese paintings are about discovery and transformation. The humble dandelion takes center stage as a symbol of how ideas spread—floating in the air until they take root in one’s mind. His energetic, sweeping strokes keep everything in constant motion, making environments feel alive, as if the canvas is actively mutating right in front of you. It beautifully captures the contrast between nature’s fragility and its powerful ability to adapt and grow.
If you love art that challenges your perception of reality, Lost Landing is a must see. It invites us to slow down, look at the world around us with a sense of wonder, and appreciate the strange beauty of an expanding science fiction universe. It’s the kind of sweet scenery you’ll want to get lost in for hours.
