Information
Three artists. Three perspectives. Three countries.
Nakaochiai Gallery proudly presents Smile/Cry
* Now/Later,
a subjective look at three artists' works from a cultural perspective
to the personal experiences of the artists and their craft. Ted
Pushinsky invokes questions referring to the timeless quality
of raw moments that he has captured in his black and white photography.
In stark contrast, Akinori Shimodaira's dreamy, melting-popsicle-esque
watercolors along with Eleanor Yap's mind-blowing mixed-media
take on a lyrical harmony with a refreshing playfulness in color
and form. This dynamic show lays evident the importance of different
backgrounds and visual approaches that are both aesthetically
jarring and pleasing.
The artists in Smile/Cry * Now/Later are
at three different stages of their art careers. Eleanor Yap is
an emerging artist just completing her honors degree in Australia.
Akinori Shimodaira is an established illustrator in Japan. And
Ted Pushinsky has covered over five decades photographing timeless
moments in America and abroad. This show is a mini-chronicle of
art seen through these artists. Smile/Cry * Now/Later opens
on July 9, 2006, and will run for three weeks.
