Going native, Isolation Room/Gallerykit is pleased to present new work
by outsider artist Sandra Marchewa.
Pills, Thrills and Bellyaches
made specifically for Isolation Room is a faux stained glass Tour De
Force. Isolation Room invites the viewer to jump into Sandra's fanatical
mixture of psychedelic patterns and occult symbols constrained within a
tidy snap grid. An arbitrary color scheme and heavily textured
surface, create a primitive jouissance that's hard to beat. A startling
variety of mediums, ranging from silver leaf to tangerine glitter to
the latest shade of nail polish, contained inside each cell of the grid,
reveals her interest in the fusion of organic nature and synthetic
process. -DM
