A solo exhibition by Harumi Abe | Curated by Deborah Mitchell Date:
October 1, 2018 - November 9, 2018
Location:
The AIRIE Nest Gallery
Everglades National Park's Coe Visitor Center
40001 State Hwy 9336, Homestead, FL 33034
Description:
Shakkei 借景, a Japanese term describing 17th century borrowed scenery, is the principle for incorporating background landscape into the composition of a garden, found in traditional East Asian garden design. In this exhibition of abstract paintings, layered landscapes and memories emerge as fresh perspectives on Florida and Japan. Abe paints impressive visual topography of her inner self and sense of belonging to both places. Finding unity in a brilliantly balanced, emotional palette, the artist’s relationship to these prismatic landscapes is magnified by “borrowing” from the regions to create meaningful connections with her beloved homelands. Related program: October 21, 2018, 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m., artist’s reception and tour.
