Join us for an evening of art, conversation, and celebration, showcasing new paintings by Bay Area artist Kelly Ording in her exhibition “Sungazing.” Ording’s minimalist works draw viewers into a vivid realm where saturated colors and delicate lines capture fleeting moments that shape the passage of time. Through a visual language of vibrant hues and rhythmic forms, we are invited to clear our minds of distractions and embrace an alternative realm beyond words. The works in this series are inspired by Ording’s practice of sungazing, a meditative ritual in which she stands outside and gazes at the sun to absorb its radiant energy. For Ording, the slow, methodical act of painting becomes an extension of this practice, transforming each piece into a contemplative object that suspends time and grounds us in the present moment.
