Please join us for a preview of Sora/Ku (Sky/Emptiness), new paintings on metal by New York artist Miya Ando.
The artist has created more than ninety new works for these exhibitions, exploring themes of transformation and the passage of time. A descendant of Japanese sword makers, Ando combines traditional techniques of her ancestry with modern industrial technology, turning sheets of aluminum into ephemeral, abstract paintings suffused with color inspired by nature. She layers pigments, dyes, urethane and resins onto the metal, allowing for variations of color and finish, with some areas of the painting matte and others glossy. The highly textured paintings range in size from 30 x 30 cm to 183 x 137 cm.
