The exhibition includes 500 pieces of small paintings on paper and large paintings on canvas composed of nights (black and white) and days (colors) creating a composition of TIME, in terms of months, years and infinite.
The exhibition is a unique experience, very intense in color and spirituality.
Lynda Sandhaus documents Time systematically and continuously (occupation she started from the early 80″) trying to create a visual proposition to the flow of life, painting every day, building a visual diary of the passing of time, as a ritual.
The diary doesn’t document the extraordinary but the flow of consciousness and memory, with no particular importance to specific dates but to the continuity of time which can be decomposed and rebuild ad infinitum.
The concept of Time presented in this exhibition is not similar to the western concept, which divides time in measured parts.
The intense occupation with Time, in fact, dissolves it and brings it to the infinite and to the awareness that the part is in the whole and the whole is in the part, and that spirituality and eternity resides in the Now.
The purpose of the painting is double, in and outside, personal and universal.
The painting as a source of Spirituality can heal and inspires for a greater awareness, the painter as much as the viewer, denying the ego, in union with the cosmos.
THANGKAS is a Buddhist term for a painting on paper, created only by spiritual people and through which both the artist and the viewer can attain a higher level of spirituality.
The exhibition will be a space inspiring peace and meditation, in which one might get more spiritual and harmonious.
