The Orchid Alliance Project - Bridging Art & Science (OAP) is a project that has
national and international significance in the art and science worlds. The
watchword of this Project is "Awareness". Awareness forms the threads that are
carefully interwoven throughout the Project which bridges art and science. The
selected participants for the Project have been carefully chosen to collaborate on
the Project because of their expertise in their respected fields, their business and
social objectives and their leadership positions.
Patricia Laspino & Evolution Art Group LLC’s artistic missions are to build a
bridge between art and science using orchid art as a floral metaphor to stimulate
awareness and conversations about evolution, biodiversity and conservation
through combining historical art processes and contemporary technologies. The
OAP is an important and innovative collaborative project designed by artist,
Patricia Laspino, and Evolution Art Group LLC, and is endorsed and supported by
the American Orchid Society (AOS, www.aos.org) and sponsored by several
high profile organizations.
Patricia Laspino is creating a body of artwork consisting of original paintings
depicting rare or endangered orchid species. Patricia will use the orchid flower as
the “flagship” to stimulate awareness for the Orchid Alliance Project. Orchids can
serve as “flagship species”: that is, species that draw the attention and support
of the general public and, in the process, get things accomplished for the broader
ecosystem in which they occur. The Project will occur over the next five years and
travel to prominent fine art galleries, museums, academic and botanical
institutions across the United States and Abroad.
