Bruno 9li “META” Exhibition
Posted by Dandiggity | Filed under PLSTK
My friends Brian and Cherri have been a positive force in the South Bay’s ever growing art scene. Their Anno Domini gallery has been around for nearly a decade showcasing the best in maverick artists, locally and internationally. Every first Friday of the month their gallery (and many other galleries on South First Street in San Jose) opens its doors to patrons wishing for something new to tantalize their senses. This is Bruno 9li’s second showcase at Gallery AD and I’m sure it’s not going to be his last. But don’t sleep on him, or this gallery.

Anno Domini presents…
“META” a solo exhibition by Bruno 9li
feauring new works and a site-specific installation
Bruno 9Li (São Paulo, Brazil) returns to Anno Domini on August 1st, 2008 for his second solo exhibit in the United States. META, the title of 9Li’s follow up exhibition to Mysterium Tremendum (2007), is a reflection on its Greek origin relating to the concept of “beyond.” What lies beyond the perceptible reality that we share in our day to day lives? What follows our existence here on Earth? Bruno continues his process of drawing as a means of contemplative action while these ideas flow through him and into the art. He pulls his inspiration from the themes of spiritism, metaphysics, ovnis (UFOs) and exotic, aquatic plants and animals.
His figurative works are a synthesis of these alternative realities. Bruno elaborates, “They represent entities sharing spiritual experiences: animals that have combined with aquatic plants, beings that see through futuristic glasses – perhaps a metaphor for the kind of vision that sees a reality beyond what our senses perceive, the kind of sight considered sacred, given to us on earth to help us gain insight into our place in the cosmos.”
