Two Solo Exhibitions: Mayuko Ono Gray and Alyson J. Barton
Nov. 25 – Jan. 4
Kettering Health Art Gallery at Rosewood Arts Center is pleased to announce two solo exhibitions:
MAYUKO ONO GRAY (La Marque, TX), 諸行無常_this too, shall pass
ALYSON J.BARTON (Roaring Branch, PA), The Remembered Land
Mayuko Ono Gray’s large scale graphite drawings on paper, reference her background, both culturally Japanese and American. This hybridized background influences her drawing practices and aesthetics. Her drawings represent people, animals and still lifes. She then matches a Japanese proverb spelled out with hiragana and kanji characters and intertwines them to create a single line within the imagery.
Barton’s photographs are inseparably linked to nature, memory, myth, and our deep relationship with land and place of her childhood in England. The romanticized landscapes blend tonalism and pictorialism and are rendered in historic photographic practices and old master painting techniques.
Hours for the exhibition are Monday – Thursday 10 am – 9 pm, Friday 10am – 5pm; Saturday 10am-3pm. The Kettering Health Art Gallery at Rosewood Arts Center is sponsored by the City of Kettering Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Department, with support from the Kettering Arts Council and the Ohio Arts Council. The Gallery is located in the Rosewood Arts Center, 2655 Olson Drive in Kettering. For more information, call (937) 296-0294 or visit our website: playkettering.org/gallery.
