December 7, 2024 – January 25, 2025
Ethel Sergeant Clark Smith Gallery
Preview Party: December 6, 6-10pm
In partnership with the Wayne Art Center, further explore common approaches shared between Japanese and Scandinavian cultures through art. Japandí Revised: shared aesthetics and influences will highlight artists working in Japan, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark, whose work reflects similar sensibilities including: 1) an appreciation for integrating nature and natural materials, 2) a near-reverence for exquisite craftsmanship, 3) an admiration for repurposing and respect for old and cherished items, and 4) a preference for neutrals and primary colors, clean lines, and under-ornamentation.
