Kyohei Inukai (1913-1985) Paintings & Silk Screens will be on view from 11 April - 17 May. This exhibition will include 6 large colorful, geometrical works on canvas, and over a dozen silk screens that were created in 1969-1970, and will be shown throughout the East section of the gallery.
For over five decades, Kyohei never stood still working across artistic media with equal fervor. Although largely obscure today, Inukai had a highly productive output, creating more than two-thousand artworks in his lifetime. They range from brooding abstract paintings rendered in acrylic, to affecting sumi-e (ink painting) studies in form to elegantly playful silkscreens composed of bold colors and geometric shapes. Among Inukai's oeuvre are also woodblock prints, and sculpture.
