Community Events
This exhibition will introduce the work of contemporary Japanese artist, Kazuko Mukoyama to the United States for the first time. The selected works engage with the most important paradigm of traditional Japanese art, that is emotion, and through this offer an opportunity for modern expression and interpretation.
The paintings selected for this exhibition were created in response to the trauma of the Kobe earthquake of 1995. Mukoyama’s paintings do not show the tragic aftermath of the disaster. Instead, she reaches to the subconscious with dreamlike imagery. Working with harsh, raw lines, she stabs the paper with dry brushes creating images of sharp mountain crags. The intensity and the humanity of Mukoyama’s work extends across cultures.
