OCCASIONAL LANDSCAPES
SAMUEL RIERA
We join the artist on a journey of discovery to a world where precise, multi-layered, dimensional paper collages, often cut from fashion magazines, spring to life as the thriving inhabitants of Planeta Sandra. She manages to blend the whimsical and the sensual, the threatening and the sublime as she recounts the mythological folklore of a primordial world not that far from our own.
With an explorer’s eye and a botanist’s discipline, Sandra meticulously catalogs each Sandremios by genus and species as specimens deserving of further study.
In these collages, I deconstruct everyday forms to create new narratives.
Through the use of nature, science and whimsy, I invent new landscapes and environments in a visual language that is uniquely my own.
-Sandra Cordero
As curator and philosopher, Luis Ramaggio, observes, “As any respected expeditionist, she quietly observes and classifies. As a visionary. As a hungry expert. As a mentalist. Lurking around her own self, and wandering through her habits and personality, Sandra discovers that she herself is a world.”

ALEJANDRO JUSTIZ

Alejandro was born in Havana, Cuba in 1982 and graduated from San Alejandro Fine Arts Academy, Havana in 2003 specializing in Art History, pedagogy, painting, drawing and ceramics. He trained at UNEAC, the Union of Writers and Artist of Cuba, Havana, Cuba in 2006 in Photography Techniques, Photographic composition and illumination.
Alejandro's central theme is the city. He creates abstracted architectural landscapes using his own visual language that mixes the raw and gestural with precise and repetitive marks that layer and intersect, morphing into the saturated, disembodied, gravity defying structures of his fantasy cities seen floating in space. His work explores the urban density of overpopulation with a subtext of man's relationship to nature. The rigidity of architecture becomes organic in his hands as skyscrapers soften and wilt like flowers, the city itself becomes a blossoming garden.
"The creative process has become a therapy for ideas and thoughts, like some sort of meditation. Lately I’m seeking for patterns, deconstructing the figuration to its simplest, some kind of fractal figuration that works at any position or view, like nature through our humanity."
His work has been included in group and personal exhibitions in Cuba, Spain and the United States.
Alejandro currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
