Abstract Explorations
A solo exhibition by Sandra Benhaim at Atria Center City
Exhibition Runs: May 11th - July 13th
About the exhibition:
Abstract Explorations is a solo exhibition by Sandra Benhaim which features a sampling of her paintings exploring the language of abstraction, expressed two-dimensionally. Various surfaces and supports (paper, canvas, wood panels) are served in the creation of these artworks. The common thread visible among all the works is Sandra Benhaim’s use of vibrant color. Along with attention to shape and line, the composition of each piece is understood as the most important aspect.
”I'm seeking for the eye of the viewer to linger upon each piece and to travel on a journey through each artwork, transported to a place they have never been.”
About the artist:
