The Nostalgia of the Infinite: New Works by Lauren Rinaldi

Dhyana Yoga Old City will be hosting a First Friday opening on August 2nd showcasing new works by Philadelphia artist, yoga teacher and DY community member Lauren Rinaldi. Please join us for a beautiful evening of art and refreshments!

In this exhibition, Lauren presents a series of paintings that focus on telling intricate and personal stories featuring unexpected juxtapositions and contradictory conditions of dreams and reality. She draws inspiration from children's books, old Hollywood, art history, meditation, memories, badly written paranormal romance novels and asana. The visual language she uses tends to be passively confrontational, intimate and seductive, yet repugnant in its portrayal.

**A portion of all sales of artwork will be donated to CHOP, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, through the Dhyana Yoga Seva Center
