EXHIBITION: Yolanda Sánchez | Along the Road of Dreams

DATE & TIME 

August 30 - October 06, 2016

 

University Galleries at the University of Florida (UF) is pleased to present Yolanda Sanchez | Along the Road of Dreams in University Gallery, located on UF's campus, August 30 through October 6, 2016. The Opening reception has been rescheduled to September 15 from 5-7 pm. The brown bag lunch has also been rescheduled to September 16 at noon in University Gallery.

Yolanda Sánchez was born in Cuba and raised in Miami, considering herself a product of that "supersyncretic" (Benitez-Rojo) culture, which is the Caribbean.  Educated in the United States, Sánchez earned her PhD in Psychology, and practiced for years before returning to school and earning her MFA at Yale University.  Sánchez has served as Director of the Fine Arts & Cultural Affairs Division at Miami International Airport for over 20 years.  

Of her work Sánchez says: 

Making art for me is a way of being present in the world; it is an act of attention.  And through this attention, I give back and offer praise to the world.  As such, my work is celebratory, expanding, opening, and about offering pleasure. From a formal perspective, my study and training in calligraphy and my background in dance inform my marks.  Calligraphy, like dance, is an interaction of movement and pause, energy and stillness.  Full of motion, like individual dances of line and form, the marks are a universal aesthetic, conveying a life force, independent of meaning or readability.  Rhythm, harmony of opposing forces, sense of space, purity and mystery, the gestural brushstroke – these qualities make up my process.
