HAMMERFRIAR GALLERY PRESENTS:
Healdsburg's Hammerfriar Gallery celebrates the gallery's 5th Anniversary with an exhibition of work by award-winning artist Tramaine de Senna. Fresh from a residency at the GlogauAir program in Berlin, Germany, de Senna is presenting a site-specific installation and a suite of drawings at Hammerfriar beginning on January 9, 2010. An artist's reception will be held on January 16th, from 6 - 9 p.m.
In keeping with the gallery's special interest in conceptual art, de Senna will present an interior using cardboard as the primary construction material. As an artist adept in many media, de Senna utilizes drawing, painting, architecture, sculpture and video in the realization of her work. In exploring the nature of the material world and the manifestations of materialism, de Senna reflects her mimetic skills in reflecting the metaphysical questions that confront contemporary life.
In celebration of its 5th Anniversary, Hammerfriar Gallery is proud to present a major work by this 2010 winner of an Emerging Artist Award presented by the Sonoma County Arts Council.
