Jan 17    Chiho Aoshima: Landscape: Another Dimension

Wednesdays-Thursdays: 12-6pm (until February 4th, closed February 5th-March 2nd on Wed/Thur)

Fridays: 12-9pm

Saturday-Sunday: 12-6pm

Monday-Tuesdays: Closed

This five-channel video installation by Japanese artist Chiho Aoshima traces the cycles of nature in a surreal, vibrantly colored landscape full of fantasy and wonder. Influenced by Japanese manga, anime, and woodblock prints, Aoshima depicts a hybrid world in which the past and future and the organic and inorganic have merged. Beginning with a garden paradise, Aoshima’s scenes morph into cityscapes where living skyscrapers sprout during the day, only to be overgrown at night by a landscape filled with ghosts and fairies. Cycling from day to night and from rural to urban, this mesmerizing work presents both an apocalyptic and utopian vision that nonetheless offers a promise of hope and regeneration. The exhibition will be open during regular gallery hours until February 9; after February 9, the exhibition will be open Friday-Sunday until the exhibition ends March 2.

• Impressionism
• Realism
• Cubism

See what historic eras influence our community artists and behold some very fresh, exciting material! Prizes, included People’s Choice, will be awarded the night of our Whet Your Palette, so come out and vote for your favorite!
