Green Chalk Contemporary: Artist Talk and Reception for Mai Ryuno
This event has already passed
Green Chalk Contemporary is proud to present an exhibition by artist Mai Ryuno entitled Moments, January 24 - February 28. The entire community is welcome to join us at the gallery for a talk by the artist and a reception on Friday, February 20, 5pm-8pm. Snacks and wine will be served.
Moments, part of Mai Ryuno’s ongoing project entitled Ancestral Observations: Demystification of Magical Powers, includes drawings and prints that indicate the times and conditions of past and future disasters in California and Japan. Since the moment when the huge 2011 earthquake and tsunami hit her home country of Japan, Ryuno has become acutely aware of every living moment. Spontaneity is the hallmark of her work: accidental happenings in daily life affect her creative process, creating a thread of unexpected and spontaneous change throughout her pieces.
Mai Ryuno received her BA from Doshisha University, Kyoto, Japan and her MFA from San Francisco Art Institute. She has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions throughout California and Japan. This is Ryuno’s second solo exhibition at Green Chalk Contemporary. Currently, she teaches drawing at Hartnell College and printmaking at Monterey Peninsula College.
Green Chalk Contemporary art gallery is open Tuesday - Saturday, 1pm-6pm and by appointment. For more information, please phone Gail Enns at 831-719-7232.
