From July 17-31, 2020 New City Arts presents chaos, a pop-up exhibit of paintings by Amdane Sanda. Take a walk downtown any time this month to see them through the large Welcome Gallery window or learn more below about how to schedule an appointment to see the exhibit in the gallery.

ARTIST STATEMENT 

Chaos; a reflection of life and self. Finding the calm in the calamity and understanding that an artist is lost when they think they must create for others rather for themselves.

MEET THE ARTIST

Amdane Sanda is originally from West Africa, Togo, but grew up in America for most of his life. His artistic self was heavily impacted by the transitions he's overcome throughout life, and with each transition comes a greater understanding of who he is. Amdane is mainly self taught but his education and, what later became his passion for art, was fed through the typical art electives taken in grade school. He currently lives in Charlottesville, Virginia and is currently practicing art at his home and basement studio.

HOW TO SEE THE SHOW

Walk by Welcome Gallery at 114 3rd St. NE any time to see Amdane's work through the large storefront window. 

Want to see the work up close? Limited in-person viewings will be available on weekdays between July 20 and July 31. Email Lindsey to learn more and to schedule a viewing.
