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.”

ROCÍO GARCÍA
BELLAS FLORES DEL MAL (BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS OF EVIL)
With a five-decade long career, Rocío García’s (b. Cuba, 1955) voice is one of the most coherent, iconic, and universal languages of the contemporary art scene in Cuba. Her debut exhibition at Thomas Nickles Project, Bellas Flores del Mal, showcasing a total of nine never-before-seen paintings, continues her voracious exploration of all that it means to be human.
Through scenes of secretly evolving intrigues, obscure mysteries, and unknown intimate stories, Rocío examines power, love, desire, sexuality, and violence with a focus on the double-edged subtlety in the conception of love: the sublime and the sinister in a rekindling of a series begun in 2017 as an homage to Matisse.
The union of opposites—the sacred and the demonic—and the duality of beauty are the central impulses of the works in this exhibition. The artist’s lifelong passion for painting, drawing and storytelling and the seamless synthesis of her influences are on display in portrayals of the dangers of love and the magic of flirtation. Here, the line, the monochromatic provocation, the disregard for naturalism, the scene-based nature, the voyeurism and ultimately, the passion are in full bloom.
Rocío García’s premiere solo exhibition with Thomas Nickles Project, Bellas Flores del Mal, will be on view at our 47 Orchard Street location
from September 22nd through November 21st, 2021.
Exhibition Details:
Opening Party: Wednesday, September 22, 4 – 8pm
