Fusako Kuyama “Art of Integration”
The Nippon Gallery
This event has ended.
"The World of Integration" features recent forty-six works by the novel, spiritual artist Fusako Kuyama. Her art work is composed of arrangements of square panels onto which Japanese washi paper has been mounted. The arrangement of the panels is reminiscent of the Japanese fusuma panels (sliding door) or byobu (screen). The washi-covered panels are painted with watercolor and sometimes have gold or silver leaf applied to integrate the textures and colors of the materials. Many of her works have varying images depending upon how the panels are rotated or arranged. The artist is known for her use of the motifs of water and air in her works. Her inspiration springs from nature and the environment found in places where she has traveled and lived in Europe, Africa, North and South America. Having grown up in the Japanese culture, she has studied Western art, Japanese art, Zen garden design, and spirituality. She integrates these with her world experience, perspectives, and inner spirit expressing them on the washi panels to offer a world sense of healing and serenity.
