Description

In Person In Gallery Show 18th Annual Wabi-Sabi Exhibition Juried by Naomi Kubota Lee O’Hanlon Center Gallery September 14 – November 2, 2022 Tuesday October 4: Roundtable at 4 p.m. Reception at 5:30 p.m. O’Hanlon Center for the Arts invites you to submit work for our 18th Annual Wabi-Sabi Exhibition juried by Naomi Kubota Lee “…celebrating the simple, the rustic, the unassuming; the dignity of things imperfect, uncontrolled and incomplete; the transient beauty of the natural world…” When seeking to understand Wabi-Sabi, it is helpful to contemplate the idea that beauty is inherent in a simple object, which in turn evokes a quiet, thoughtful mood and atmosphere. The emphasis of this exhibit will be not on the final perfected form of the work, but on how well pieces reflect a sense and feeling of this elusive concept. In particular, the focus will be on the imaginative use of natural materials that may include found objects. See the Wabi-Sabi portion of the OHCA website for inspiration and more resources: ohanloncenter.org/wabi-sabi/ O’Hanlon Center for the Arts emphasizes the creative process and the continued pursuit of meaning and authenticity through observation, exploration, and experimentation. Contemporary, expressionistic, abstract, exploratory, and/or experimental entries encouraged.
