WELLFLEET ART EXHIBITION - June 24 - Jul 12, 2010
Malden artist Sand T exhibits new works at FARM Project Space and Gallery in Wellfleet from June 24 through July 12, 2010. A reception with the artist has been scheduled for Saturday, June 26, from 6 – 8pm at FARM located at 15 Commercial Street in Wellfleet, Massachusetts. Public is cordially invited to attend.
Sand T's solo exhibit Breathing Sublimity, consists of a series of epoxy resin art objects utilizing the fundamental visual elements of dot, line, color, surface and light. Sand T creates work that contains a fluidity that virtually breathes on the wall. Minimal and meditative, the work is a multi-sensorial experience. The artist utilizes a combination of UV resistant epoxy resin, graphite, and paint on archival tempered clayboard panels
“Sand’s work appears grid-like and systematic, yet each work is so individual. As clean and sharp as the art objects appear, there is a very emotional quality to them, as one can literally see their reflection in the work and also lose oneself in it.” , expresses FARM Director Susie Nielsen.
Originally from Malacca, Malaysia, Sand T now lives in Malden, Massachusetts. She earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from Tufts University and the Museum School. She has received numerous awards including the most recent, the 2009 New England Art Award from the New England Journal of Aesthetic Research in February 2010.
Though Sand T’s work is a fresh face on the visual art scene, it has been shown in many exhibitions nationally and internationally, most recently; at ParisCONCRET in Paris, France; Grimshaw-Gudewicz Art Gallery in Bristol Community College in Fall River, Massachusetts; SNO Contemporary Art Projects in Sydney, Australia; and TAKSU Gallery in Singapore.
“Sand T’s work invokes investigation from different views and angles. It makes your senses react, you wonder if you hear the air bubbles moving, breathing.” Nielsen states, “The layers of graphite lines and the “bubbles” (resin droplets) add different layers and levels of complexity to each piece.”
Sand T says, "Lighting plays a very important role in the presentation of my work, for it maximizes the viewing experience. When viewers examine the artwork closely, they will see a sequence of lights and reflections on the surface of the work, as well as the three dimensions space created inside the work.”
Sand T’s works have recently been added to the permanent collection of the National Art Gallery in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, her home country. Her work is part of numerous public and private collections worldwide, including Germany, United Kingdom, Japan, Australia and Hong Kong.
