Japanese artist Hiroshi Wada is a calligraphy painter. Wada studied the ancient tradition of “shodo”—brush and ink drawing on rice paper— with a great master of this art form. While his art retains the spontaneity and playfulness of a child’s drawing, in fact it takes years of apprenticeship to achieve their effortless look. Wada’s aim, however, is not the traditional “sho.”

In and Out of the Garden is a collective exhibition featuring work by nine different artists with mediums ranging from painting to mixed-media to installation. Natural forms, expressive compositions, and bold color palettes create an energetic narrative focused on the exhilarating and intoxicating reality of the human experience. Featured artists: Osvaldo Bacman, Caspar Baum, Dante Biss-Grayson, Guanzhong Ge, Dana Ingesson, Meir Raz, Dede Schuhmacher, Yoshiki Uchida, Suqun Zhang

New to #ARTmine: “My arts practice has, for many years, focused on examining the notion of the ‘sublime’ as it relates to my experiences of the landscapes of regional New South Wales, Australia. I paint in a realistic style and intend to capture the intense color and light of these ‘sublime’ moments, expressed in big, sweeping, dramatic skies. In my artwork I re-examine the nineteenth century Romantic aesthetic notion that divides the world into categories and differentiates the ‘sublime’ from the ‘picturesque’ or ‘pastoral’. Additionally, I try to paint landscapes and skies that could be viewed as 'timeless'. It is part of my aim to create a sense of intrigue, drama or anticipation that something is about to happen” – Sandra Guy.

Sandra’s works will be on view at the gallery from August 24 through September 14, 2019.
