'The Light Is Worth The Wait'
November 16 - December 14 2023
Artist statement by Sandy Kupfer
My earliest memory is from 3 years old. Willie and I were rockstars performing for a crowd larger than Spongebob's arena show. I race to the light switch and as quick as darkness settled; Willie crashed to the ground. He malfunctioned like a robot with a super surge of electricity over powering him. The ambulance arrived se4conds after my mom called it. This is why I'm afraid of the dark. The Darkness is an abyss of fear, suffering isolatory emptiness.
But I promise you THE LIGHT IS WORTH THE WAIT.
This series consists of multiple layers of paint built up in a **pentimento style. The application of mark making is versatile. It can provide as scoring; creating a private language. Texture is utilized to provide emphasis. Correlated with this, simple and crude faces provide the viewer with a focal point to read these works. Gestural strokes of mixed color coexist next to spaces of flat, single tone paint.
**pentimento /pĕn″tə-mĕn′tō/ noun An underlying image in a painting, especially one that has become visible when the top layer of paint has turned transparent with age, providing evidence of revision by the artist.

'IN THE ABYSS, BUT GAZING UPWARD'
June 22 - July 3rd 2023
As if a snake constricted a phoenix, morphing the sun’s flames with the crust and core of the earth.
The big bang is an ouroboros, & your eyes are constellations, but I live in Los Angeles so I can’t see them. It only rains inside the days. The fruit still won’t bloom. It’s only vain to construct a future, when it’s not god’s will it’s doom & my body used to be a tomb until I turned it into a covered canvas. I am my greatest masterpiece & master pieces must be flawed.
Dreams of solitude; but isolation for two as if we left the universe behind in search for a more axiomatic sphere where structures don’t confine, kill, & reduce the ones we cherish. Isolation without a god is whispering to the devil in the mirror while you stare into the entirety of a synthetic ABYSS which is a ls natural as it gets. On repeat. Repeat :|| - Sandy
