VIP Opening Reception for Concetta Antico’s ‘A Modern Muse’ Exhibition

La Jolla’s art scene is about to get a whole lot more vivid. World-renowned tetrachromatic artist Concetta Antico is unveiling her newest exhibition, A Modern Muse, with a VIP Opening Reception at The Salon of Art Gallery. It’s a must-see for lovers of color, nostalgia, and bold creative expression.

VIP Opening Reception A Modern Muse exhibition

A Psychedelic Journey Through the ’60s & ’70s

Known for her rare ability to see over 100 million colors, Antico brings a one-of-a-kind visual perspective to more than 25 new and existing works.

Inspired by her own upbringing during the psychedelic era, A Modern Muse bursts with daisy chains, glittering palettes, flower power, and stylized retro-futurism—all filtered through her signature brushwork and remarkable color perception.

From canary-yellow bedrooms and rainbow Mary Quant nail polish to the flower-child energy that shaped a generation, Concetta Antico transforms her memories into immersive, joy-fueled artwork with a modern twist. The result? A vibrant love letter to peace, individuality, and expressive freedom.
