Yayoi Yokoyama DAYDREAM March 5 – 9, 2024

Opening Reception Tuesday, March 5, 6–8pm

Yayoi Yokoyama believes that there is no boundary between digital and analog, aiming to complete a piece of CG art as if she were producing a painting. By superimposing the curves of a real woman’s body on the abstract curvaceous beauty unique to CG, Yokoyama, with her 3D programing, reveals women’s thoughts and doubts deeply concealed in their minds.

Kazuko Hyakuda LIGHT AND SHADE

August 30 – October 3, 2023

Preview Reception: Wed. August 30, 4–6pm

Although the real world, and photographs, is in color, Hyakuda's works expressed in solarplate intaglio are consistently in monochrome. How far does achromatic black penetrate viewers' hearts, and how far does it reach the sensibilities of those who see it with colors different from reality? Hyakuda attempts to touch on the subtleties of the universe by creating a contrast between light and shadow.
