Statement
Hope, second chances and authenticity are the values that I strive to incorporate into my artistic practice. The intent for my work is to provide a sense of optimism in society's ability to reinvent itself.
I take common materials, consumables, and the flawed and imperfect remnants from our built environment and create these hybrid works that celebrate the imperfect and unconventional. The process for me is about intuitively exploring contradictions and uneasy associations between the rough and the refined. I’m working with abstract shapes, textiles, mark-making and painting. My job is to problem solve each piece and figure out how the pieces come together. I encourage the odd combinations, quirky shapes and color explorations to happen and create the unexpected.
Architecture and design are important structural influences in my work, while the movement and life force of the body provides an organic counterpoint. My work often references the body moving amongst our built environment as we constantly maneuver around these structures, both physically and psychologically we're constantly adapting and modifying to a new framework, system or barrier.
These assembled hybrid objects become my canvas and manage to transcend their base materiality, as the source materials are elevated and imbued with a newness of form and aesthetic.

SANDY KUPFER
Sandy Kupfer (she/they) is multidisciplinary artist with a focus in painting, tattooing, drawing, and poetry. She is a Los Angeles based artist who grew up in Pennsylvania. They graduated with a BA in Fine Arts from Occidental College in 2022, and are set to graduate with a Master's degree in Fine Arts from Otis College of Art and Design in December 2024. In 2023, she had two solo painting exhibitions with Neo LA Gallery. In 2024, Sandy has showed with Ceradon Gallery in their inaugural group show "Premiere Ink", Vita Kari and Swsh's "Disidentifications", "Raking Light Galleries's "All Over My Life"r and "Outside Bodies" in London.
Her work is a subversive act to encapsulate realms less frequented in spiritually high energy. They dive deep into a vulnerable authenticity of self - utilizing meaningful emotive topics, expressed through intense gestural strokes and mark making. When engaging with Sandy's work, there is a forced confrontation with raw and unfiltered mind heart and spirit. This process of creation derives from the honest nature of her mentally and physically disabled brother's art practice. She is extremely close to him, and helped play the role of care taker for him until relocating. In this time Sandy saw how her brother's works transcended everything, to get to the core of true expression. She strives to do the same.
