David Kordansky Gallery is pleased to present In the Heart of the Sun, an exhibition of new work by Jennifer Guidi at its Los Angeles gallery at 5130 W. Edgewood Pl. On view from 5 November through 22 December 2022, the show features paintings, works on paper, and sculptures.
Jennifer Guidi brings meditative vision, methodical practice, and a nuanced perceptual understanding of light, colour, and landscape to works that are as immersive as they are finely detailed. Radiating networks of small marks, saturated hues, and tactile surfaces—generated through Guidi’s use of sand—have become characteristic components of a vocabulary in which an expansive sense of scale exists in large and small works alike.
In the Heart of the Sun features a group of painted bronze sculptures installed in a rock garden-like setting; new Universe Mandala and Sand Mandala paintings and focused works on paper in which experiments with colour and pattern reveal an endlessly shifting array of moods and inner vistas.
Throughout the exhibition, Guidi shows how each individual mark, gesture, composition, and artwork—indeed, each observable phenomenon in the natural world—is part of an encompassing totality that is always in the process of creating itself anew.

Jennifer Guidi is a contemporary artist known for her meditative, textured paintings that merge West Coast Light and Space influences with Eastern spiritual philosophies and natural patterns.
