Overview
(SANTA MONICA) Nüart Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition featuring new work by Sunny Taylor, on view from March 21 through April 11, 2026, at the gallery’s Bergamot Station location, with an opening reception on Saturday, March 21, from 4:00 - 6:00 pm.
In Connections, Sunny Taylor draws on the overlooked surfaces of the built environment—patched walls, eroded building façades, layered paint, and improvised architectural repairs—as a point of departure for a materially driven abstraction. Her paintings echo the visual language of conservation and adaptation, where surfaces record time through accumulation, interruption, and revision.
Working exclusively in acrylic, Taylor builds and dismantles her compositions through layering, masking, scraping, and repainting. The resulting images often suggest collage, though they remain entirely painterly constructions. Areas of dense texture are set against quieter planes of color, creating a dynamic oscillation between disruption and cohesion.
Throughout the work, repair operates as both process and metaphor. Like the urban surfaces that inspire them, these paintings bear traces of adjustment and continuity—damage and renewal. The compositions appear excavated and reconstructed, registering transformation rather than resolution.
