Come for Sun Swim Fun Matchbook Gallery Show in Palm Springs
Come for Sun Swim Fun revisits a glamorous era in the desert vacation community of Palm Springs, CA. This series of acrylic paintings with prismacolor, glitter and sand on panel by Cherry Capri is inspired by vintage matchbook art of Palm Springs from the 1950s and 1960s. The work is also motivated by the rediscovery and preservation of Mid-Century Modern architecture in the Springs. In the recent book Palm Springs Weekend, architectural historians Alan Hess and Andrew Danish say, “Palm Springs is a true oasis of progressive design… unparalleled in the world.”
