New Dazzler at Tany Bondakdar Gallery – Genie Davis
Sandra Cinto’s Prelude to the Sun, at Tanya Bonakdar, on exhibit through July 2nd, is golden, literally and figuratively. The artist has restructured the gallery walls themselves to glow with a site-specific golden installation, a large-scale curved wall drawing.
Also on display are a series of tondo and oval-shaped canvases that shift from blue to gold in an exploration of the day’s cycle from dawn til dusk.
These are visually stunning works that use the sun as an inspirational element and to reveal the passage of time. Stars, waves, cliffs, bridges, and swings, are among the delicately rendered subjects presented. It’s a gorgeous show, and one that should be soaked in just as you’d sit on the beach or in a park and enjoy a little sunshine. Meditative yet energetic, this is a stellar exhibition made to be seen live.
