Mayumi Lake "Ex Post Facto"
MIYAKO YOSHINAGA art prospects
This event has ended.
M.Y. Art Prospects is pleased to present Ex Post Facto, our third solo exhibition by Chicago-based artist, Mayumi Lake. In this calm yet emotionally charged photographic narrative, Lake traces her family history back some sixty years and revisits her childhood fantasy of bringing back her grandfathers who were killed in combat during WWII.
In Ex Post Facto, rural landscapes evoke memories of battlefields, and female portraits pay tribute to those who suffered the loss of their loved ones. Panoramic green fields and untamed woods suggest the epic scale of destruction and sacrifice, while dimly illuminated women (portrayed by the artist) express subtle but complex moods and emotions -aggression, lamentation, resignation, hope, and longing.
