Ferdinanda Florence and Wynne Hayakawa
July 16 – August 22, 2014
Opening Reception: Wednesday, July 16, 5:30 - 7:30 PM
Andrea Schwartz Gallery is pleased to announce a two-person exhibition featuring new work by Ferdinanda Florence and Wynne Hayakawa, with an opening reception held on Wednesday, June 15 from 5:30 – 7:30 pm.
“I am interested in how the boundaries between inside and outside, and up and down, can act as metaphors for life’s unresolved conflicts.”
—Ferdinanda Florence
Ferdinanda Florence paints the uncelebrated industrial and commercial structures of her adopted city of Vallejo. While these building are home to no one, Florence is drawn to the resiliency of the architecture. She admires the impassive faces of these structures that despite having welcoming awnings and doorways, seem to deny ready access.
(More of her works may be found on her portfolio page.)
“My paintings evolve as interplays of color, value, flatness, movement and space.”
—Wynne Hayakawa
Wynne Hayakawa works from sketches, photos and memories to convey a sense of the natural world. The current body of work draws influence from photographic glimpses taken from a car with a slow shutter speed. Hayakawa uses these captured moments as a foundation, from which she evolves and expands the composition with layers of paint and changing pattern and shadow. Her hope is to create work that transports the viewer to a different time and place.
(More of her works may be found on her portfolio page.)
