Chrysaline, a dynamic mixed media project chronicling the life cycles of Monarch and Swallowtail butterflies and created by artist Jose Angel Castro, will premiere at Loiter Galleries in Downtown Long Beach (DTLB) opening on June 11, 2022, from 6-9 PM.

The project is composed of many mediums include painting, photography, sculpture, time-based video art, and a live performance by the artist, Jose Angel Castro. Using a method called “kinetic painting,” the artist combines movement inspired by his martial arts practices and professional dance background to show his vision of the transformation of the caterpillar, entombed in its chrysalis.

The show runs until July 16th, 2022.
