“Phase - from Me to You” Exhibition

“Phase - from Me to You” Exhibition

Gallery Onetwentyeight

This event has ended.

This exhibition displays artworks of two different generations, portraying the contrast in self-identification and the awareness of relationships between parents who grew up in different countries and their children born in the United States.

While parents have raised their children subjectively, the growing generation views their parents in an objective perspective.

In this exhibition, we aim to reveal the sentiments the parents and children have for one another through the representation of the process of independence in their artworks.

Additionally, we hope to express the differences in our values of sincerity, justification, and beauty through the influence of cultural variation, and to illustrate the ways it vastly influences our individual art styles.

AKIKO MATSUO (mother)
Born in Tokyo, Japan where she studied at the Tama Art University, receiving her BFA. She moved to New York 1987. She studied American Art at The Persons School of Design.
In her artwork, she would rather push forward questions than making a specific statement. I try to make people see some matters from different angle or arouse a doubt in their daily life.

AKIKO YAMAMOTO (mother)
Akiko came to the United State in 1991 from Japan, and graduated from Rutgers University with Art and Art History major in 1996.
Through her art works, she operates in the space between her childhood Japanese memory and everyday life in America. Her images are from pictures of friends and family, nature and icons of Japanese and American culture. They become subject matter since she wants to reveal the depth of life, and touch the spirit around them.
