“NEW DRAWINGS . . . introduces a body of Calandra’s work in which she draws public and private art collections from direct observation<\/strong>. It is her second solo exhibition with Sardine and features a series of subtle graphite graphite drawings on panel. Where her first show, ‘Pencil in the Studio’, was a series of drawings that depicted the contemporary artist’s immediate environs, ‘New Drawings’ follows an artist’s work where it often ends up living
\n<\/strong>; in homes and museums. More than simply documenting the world of art objects, they are poignant notes of admiration<\/strong> and homage to the presence of art and artists in our<\/strong> lives today. Whether it’s the the Rothko room at the Met, or a collection of smaller, more contemporary work hung salon style in a home, they reflect the vibrancy of this experiential and intimate relationship. Lovingly rendered in Calandra’s signature style, the artist’s voice comes first and we are all the better for it.”
\n~Sardine<\/p>\n

MARIA CALANDRA lives and works in Brooklyn. She is a graduate of Cornell University’s MFA program and has previously exhibited with Sardine, Sierra Nevada College, Kinz and Tillou Gallery, Norte Maar, Daily Operation, DNA Gallery, Shoot the Lobster and Storefront.<\/p>\n

ps:<\/p>\n

MARIA pens a fascinating ‘drawing’ journal\/blog: pencilinthestudio <\/a><\/p>\n

. . where she visits other artists in their studios, and while they chat she does real-time sketches of the work, and usually a portrait of the artist too. <\/p>\n

check out her take on . . . JULES de BALINCOURT<\/a> – it’s my fave !!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nMARIA CALANDRA . . . drawing of Jules de Balincourt studio.<\/p>\n

kind of a travel, souvenir, diary, sketchbook, comic book, illustration, hard core ‘locator’\/raw data, insider\/outsider view from . . a very curious & ‘notating’ kind of – mind !!
\nvery entertaining, and . . very informing.
\nvery gentle, but eerily detailed . . the draftsmanship is quite light-handed.
\nbut veers off in the strangest of ways.
\nand wanders in its own way. making its own shapes from the landscape, the objects, the personality – at hand. free-form ‘examination’ come to mind.
\nthe drawings are sourced from the real, but definite verging towards . . the fictional ?
\nas in the fictional . . ‘picture’ plane.
\nalmost as if, in a storybook. but . . too hard-edged, too on-the-case !!
\nthey definitely belong to an artist, not a story-teller.
\nand yet, they are observational . . as if, in a dream.
\nan artist’s . . dream !!
\nthis is a curious place, where I am . . smack down in the crux & flux of another artist’s world.<\/p>\n

a lot of people are looking forward – to seeing this show, which just happens to synch up – with BUSHWICK OPEN STUDIO WEEKEND, so for sure – drop by.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
