"Ephemeral" Exhibition
Onishi Gallery
This event has ended.
The Onishi Gallery presents Ephemeral, an exhibition of paintings, sculptures, and photographs by seven Japanese artists. Ephemeral is the gallery’s contribution to this year’s Asian Contemporary Art Week, and it is the inaugural exhibition in the gallery’s newly remodeled space in Chelsea. Co-curating Ephemeral are Mako Wakasa and Nana Onishi.
Ephemeral’s co-curators have selected works that evoke the Japanese aesthetic of temporality. The exhibition’s early-spring timing coincides with the season of cherry blossom viewing—traditionally an occasion for reflecting on the mutability of life while watching the falling of the pale pink petals. Ephemeral explores the implications of impermanence for life and for art.
