Kelly Ording: SUNGAZING
Sungazing is a form of meditation or religious practice, much like the act of painting is for me.
- Kelly Ording
The paintings in this exhibition are inspired by Kelly Ording's practice of sungazing, a meditative ritual where one gazes toward the sun to absorb its radiant energy. For Ording, the slow and methodical process of painting becomes an extension of this meditative ritual. Serving as a visual language, Ording's saturated colors and delicately rendered forms evoke a sense of quiet contemplation, inviting viewers to clear their minds open to a realm beyond words. Rhythmic lines and repetitive motifs mark the passage of time, reflecting the natural rhythms of the universe and the cycles of the sun.
