(Guttenberg, NJ) – Guttenberg Arts is pleased to present Hortus Edenis, a solo exhibition by artist Raquel Roberto. The exhibition will open on Saturday, September 6, 2025, with a reception from 6PM to 10PM. Purchase your ticket at guttenbergarts.org/exhibitions.

Hortus Edenis, Latin for “Garden of Eden,” invites viewers into a personal interpretation of utopia. In this installation, Roberto explores the potential for artists to define their own Eden and challenges audiences to reconsider what constitutes an ideal world.

Raquel Roberto’s practice, which she calls “Creative Thinking,” blends analog and digital techniques rooted in her background as a graphic artist. Over the past decade, her layered creative work has investigated the intersections of media, identity, and representation. Her recent projects explore the tension between female presence and objectification, especially as experienced by minority artists navigating both personal and public spaces.

Drawing inspiration from the GüttenGarden at Guttenberg Arts, Roberto creates an installation that reflects both the beauty and complexity of constructed utopias. Her work embodies a dialogue between form, symbolism, and experience that offers a space to question and reimagine the dynamics of paradise, power, and belonging.

Hortus Edenis reveals a multifaceted interpretation of contemporary Eden, filtered through the lens of identity, struggle, and artistic exploration.
