Where: Seed Gallery, Newmarket, Auckland.
When: 4 April – 14 April, 2007.
About Show: “Imbued with a sense of the fantastic, her work references many facets of Brazilian culture, among them: the traditional woodcut techniques from the “Folhetim” papers from the Northeast, Christian religion in her altar-like arrangements and the Vodun Art of the slaves brought to Brazil from the Ivory Coast.
Driven by an interest in the paradoxes, contradictions and ambivalence of carnival culture, Sandano merges traditional and contemporary cultural factors: assembling, collating and hybridizing her imagery to challenge our traditional visual vocabulary. In her forthcoming exhibition "Delirious Utopia" Sandano will re-evaluate and re-stage elements of traditional visual communication.” Quote from www.seedgallery.co.nz
“Brazilian Annie Sandano references various aspects of her native culture in her work. In her latest exhibition, Delirious Utopia, she uses traditional woodcut techniques and references images brought to Brazil by slaves from the Ivory Coast.” Quote from Sunday Star Times
