Patterson Mansion hosts Art Expo in Washington, DC with emerging artist Christopher Soto

In Art Collection: Dreams, the artist, Christopher Soto highlights the dialectic between the fallibility of humanity and the divine. Drawing on inspiration from Greek mythology and his own dreams the artist invites you consider your own dreams. 

Each piece navigates the creative process while employing purpose, inspiration and symbolism as guiding principles.

Leveraging the stories of  Zeus, Hypnos, Pasithea’s, and Dionysus Soto wants to reminds us to be our authentic selves, that every dark night has a dawn, and that the universe is conspiring in our favor.  On this midsummer night we invite you to walk among gods, and to explore the synchronicity of your own DREAMS and the divine.
