About

Lyndi Sales (b.1973) is based in Cape Town. Her work exists at the interface of art and rationalism, reason and wonder. Working with hand-woven textiles, sculptural installation, intricately cut perspex paper and collage works,  Sales’ practice  is  located in a scientific register where she often interrogates the properties of light or the crystalline structure of chemicals.  Her departure point is refracted through the lens of art and infused with a personal aesthetic sensibility. Sales’ surprising combination of art and science take on new and curious configuration that often shed light on the fragile nature of our existence and temporality.

Sales represented South Africa at the 2011 in the 54^th Venice Biennale. She has held solo shows internationally at Galerie Maria Lund in Paris, Toomey Tourell in San Francisco and M Contemporary in Sydney – and locally in South Africa at the Goodman Gallery,  Gallery Momo and the Everard Read Gallery. She has participated in numerous group shows in South Africa, the USA, Europe the UK, Her works can be found in major collections locally and internationally.

Sales is represented in various public and private collections, including the National Gallery of Art Washington, USA, Texas A&M University, Library of Congress, Washington, USA, New York Public Library, USA, FRAC de la Haute Normandie, Société Générale Art Foundation, France, Sasol Sandton, Facebook Sandton, University of Cape Town, McGill University Montreal Canada, Arthur and Mata Jaffe Collection, Florida Atlantic University, USA, and Redbull Hangar7 Salzburg.
