 The Tarryn Teresa Gallery is pleased to present “The Preservation of Decay”, the debut solo exhibition of Los Angeles-based artist Dave Bondi. Always eye-catching, Bondi’s vivid three-dimensional paintings serve as a clever candy-colored branding trick. Their seductive appearance is actually a disguise for the artist’s passionate position on human behavior/philosophies and their resulting effect on our planet.
Although the works are undeniably entertaining in that ubiquitous and alluring pop culture manner, Bondi’s work is a far cry from pure formalistic pursuit and even though he believes that art is meant to be enjoyed, he also believes in its power as an instrument for bettering human consciousness. Bondi turns to art as a healing force and an outlet for political change. Bondi is a champion of pragmatism and egalitarianism. For the artist, his work is an appeal towards rational thought and an appreciation of the scientific process, as opposed to the violent confrontation between ideas fueled by religion and politics.

| Hi, my name is Rafael Alejandro Acero Hernandez, and I'm an alcoholic. I don't drink beer. I'm addicted to chocolate. I'm a bit bipolar and every once in a while obsessive/ compulsive. I have a really short attention span. I don't believe in labels, I'm not defined by what I do or by who I do- for that matter. I'm a writer, an actor, a dancer, BUT nothing is better than being a professional a$$hole. Soy un chilango incomprendido, y como tal- valemadrista a morir. | |
