This fantastic spotlight courtesy of @thepaletteandthepage "Missing Petals" belongs to the Pink collection that I curated for the under $100 Holiday Showcase.

I’m please to announce that my solo show in Tokyo, Japan will open tomorrow 9/10. If you are around Tokyo, please stop by the gallery as it’ll be up until 10/1. Also, there will be a group show opening reception tomorrow 9/9, 6-9, at the Space 776 gallery in Lower East Side, NYC. @space_776 @wadagarou @mizuma_kips #soloshow #soloexhibition #openingreception #bamboopainting #mixedmediaart #contemporaryart 画像 SEUNG LEE (スン・リー) BAMBOO PEREGRINATION September 10th – October 1st, 2022 ​OPENING：9月10日 16:00 - 19:00 このたび和田画廊では、Seung Lee（スン・リー）による個展『BAMBOO PEREGRINATION 』を開催いたします。 ​15歳で韓国から渡米したスン・リーは、アジアと西洋の美意識が混在する空間で作品を制作しています。 40年以上にわたり、スンの作品はアート空間の操作に重きを置いてきました。そんな彼の作り出す作品、そして空間は鑑賞者に環境的および社会的崩壊のビジョンを共有し、自分自身の経験を振り返るよう働きかけ、ときに鑑賞者の行動へ変化をもたらします。 過去15年にわたりスンの制作の主題となっていたのは、樹木に宿る精霊「こだま」でした。 彼の作品に変化をもたらしたのはパンデミックです。 ニューヨーク州ロングアイランド東部のノースフォークにあるスンの新しいスタジオは竹に覆われています。コロナ禍、竹に囲まれた環境下で瞑想と作品のための空間を拵え、スタジオで創作活動に奮闘する日々。そんな日々をきっかけに「竹」が作家にとって大きな一部となりました。 竹は、強さ・柔軟性・健康を表します。強さは、困難な時期に立ち向かうこと教え、柔軟性は適応する力、逆境を経験した後に立ち直ることを教えてくれます。この美徳が揃うこと、それは私たちの生活の中でバランスと平和を見つける方法を教え、やがては心身の健康をもたらすのです。 皆様のご来廊をこころよりお待ちしております。 【展覧会概要】 Seung Lee 個展 『BAMBOO PEREGRINATION』 2022年9月10日(土)ー10月1日(土) ​Tel/Fax: 03-6263-2404 Email：[email protected] 営業時間：13:00 - 18:30 ＊日・月・祝休廊 ​ ​和田画廊 〒104-0061東京都中央区銀座3-5-16 マツザワ第10ビル3F ★和田画廊アクセスはこちら (at Seoul, Korea) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiRtvuCr7gb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Couch Surfing Expedition by Kevin “Surf” Mitchell Opening Reception - July 1st

Kevin “Surf” Mitchell will unveil what he and a dynamic group of upcoming photographers have cultivated over a 3-year span. To up the ante, a special musical guest will be in attendance. Don’t miss this one! Welcome to Couch Surfing… enjoy the wave.

Summertime!

And an announcement for my first-ever comic art gallery showing! I'll have dozens of original comics for viewing (and for sale) up at 1up gallery in New London, Connecticut.

Opening reception (with live music from me and my band Pocket Vinyl ) will take place Saturday, July 23rd starting at 8 p.m.

Fun fact about New London: It's only 1 hour from Providence, 2 hours from Boston, less than 3 hours from NYC, and accessible by train from all 3 cities! So take a summer trip and come see the Whaling City! (They don't do that anymore.)

Event details can be found here.
