Manjari Sharma and Eric Tillinghast at Bishops Lodge Auberge Resort, Santa Fe July 20–30, 2023 Reception and Immersive Projection: Thursday, July 20: 6–10pm Richard Levy Gallery is pleased to present Manjari Sharma and Eric Tillinghast, a thematic exhibition of pool paintings and photographs at Bishop's Lodge Auberge Resort in Santa Fe. You are invited to join us on July 20th for a special evening at Bishops Lodge Resort. This event includes an artist reception from 6–9 pm and an immersive video projection from Manjari Sharma’s series Surface Tension into the pool after dark. Visit the gallery, meet the artists and take in the sunset before reconvening at the pool after the sun goes down to experience the projection. Manjari Sharma’s Surface Tension is an selection of photographs of people swimming under water captured from above the pool’s surface. In the images, bodies are broken apart by refracted light and the rippled surface of the water. Legs become fins, limbs are elongated, and identities unknowable as new forms emerge. Born and raised in Mumbai, India, much of her practice is inspired by the cultural belief that water is holy. Manjari Sharma’s projects have been featured in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, CNN World, NPR, Life Magazine, and Forbes India, among others. Eric Tillinghast’s paintings explore the theme of water isolated as a geometric shape. The artist collects vintage postcards of swimming pools and paints out surrounding details with white acrylic paint and a minuscule paint brush so that the painted area holds the illusion of being the paper. His work can be found in the permanent collections of the Albright-Knox Gallery, the John Michael Kohler Art Center in Wisconsin, the Museum of Fine Art in Santa Fe, Portland State University, and the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art in Arizona. This program is presented by Richard Levy Gallery in partnership with Bishops Lodge Auberge Resort Collection and Bobby Beals Presents… Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube: @levygallery @manjee @erictillinghastartist @bobbybealspresents @bishopslodgeauberge #surfacetension #manjarisharma #richardlevygallery #erictillinghast #bishopslodge
