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.”

VAGABUNDUS DREAMS
The sadness many of us felt during the quarantine and the monotony of the subsequent lockdown during informs the somber tone of these new entries to the world of Planeta Sandra. It is safe to say that the usual characters that inhabit that world are colorful to say the least. The Vagabundi, please see the Planeta Sandra exhibit on our exhibitions page, are so happy, they literally jump from place to place in such brightly colored attire, they can't be missed. While they are a happy lot living in a vibrant world, it appears, the same way that in our world, dogs can only see in blue and yellow, the Vaganbundi on Planeta Sandra can only dream in black & white.
A master of her technique, these new works are remarkable for their execution, mixing abstraction with the surreal, and dare way say, a hint of playfulness. We proudly present these works as a two week pop-up in our newly activated window gallery. The exhibition will be on view from 02/03/2021 thru 02/14/2021.
