SUMMARY:Exhibition: "流転-RUTEN-" by Yasuka Matsumoto
DESCRIPTION:CRS is honored to present a brief exhibition of works by Yasuka Matsumoto of Japan from April 17 – 20\, 2015. The works that Ms. Matsumoto will be sharing all reference the Japanese traditional method of making iron and steel\, called Tatara\, using charcoal created from the burning of wood. \n〜 A story of small iron 〜 \nTrees in the forest are transformed into iron and steel by human’s hand. That process can be said to concentrate a large forest into small metallic objects. These objects carry the memory of having existed as trees in the forest. When a metal object closes its eyes\, it see images and remembers the memory of this past it carries within. The object misses living in the forest and eventually returns there as it rusts and is scattered and carried back to the soil and is finally re-absorbed by the trees and other vegetation. \nProfile of Yasuka Matsumoto \nI studied sculpture at Tama Art University and experienced using various materials. I was fascinated by the beauty of the original state of each material. Since every material is perfect as it is\, I always wanted to use materials in their original condition. Since then\, when I create my artwork\, I always cherish the original condition of materials and try to be guided by the ways that they are already being transformed by nature and traditional human-directed processes. It is my hope that you will be able to enjoy the objects that I exhibit as both raw materials\, interesting for their own inherent natural properties\, and as works carefully shaped by an artist to draw attention to certain processes and ideas\, to provoke various questions and to enrich the experience of sharing space and time with the object and its journey. \nhttp://yasukamatsumoto.com \nYasuka Matsumoto graduated from Tama Art University in 2009. This is her first exhibition in New York. She has participated in the following group exhibitions in Japan: \n2011 Art Festival at Tama Art University\n2010 Art Festival at Tama Art University\n2010 Wooden Sculpture Class Exhibition at Tama Art University\n2009 Tama Art University Sculpture Exhibition\n2007 Graduation Show at Hachioji High School Art Course Specialization

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Rhythm of Color by Brian Potter
DESCRIPTION:CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) is pleased to announce “Rhythm of Color\,” an exhibition of paintings by Brian Potter. In this series of paintings\, Mr. Potter uses lines and planes of color\, usually very chromatic\, in rhythmic combinations. Sometimes these planes overlap\, creating a sense of implied depth and mystery. Generally\, the colors pulsate foward\, generating a playful energy. There is a balance struck between the emotional content of color association\, and the intellectual qualities of hard edge painting. \nAn Opening Reception with the artist will take place on Saturday\, April 25\, 2015 from 6 – 8 pm. The exhibition will remain on display through the end of May. \nDuring the opening reception\, from 6:30 – 7 pm\, there will be a live art happening organized by CRS Gallery Director Rie Nishimura and painter Robin Ann Meyer. The event celebrates the somatic nature of painting\, allowing the audience to experience the roles that kinetic energy and physical abilities/limitations play in the creative process. Moving dynamically around a large shared canvas\, Ms. Nishimura will paint with her bare hands while Ms. Meyer will paint holding her brush with her feet. \nArtist Statement \nI see abstract art as having almost limitless possibilities—and my plan is to explore these possibilities as thoroughly as possible. While it is usual for most artists to find a style and then refine it through variations\, I hope to reference or create as many abstract styles as possible—in order to create a strong coherent range. To me this has something to do with the essence of abstraction—to distill essences as the basis for imagery and to experiment with these essential qualities in different combinations; the results can lead down different paths\, and one of my challenges is integrating these paths wherever possible. In time\, through experience along these lines\, I hope to invent much new imagery and expand upon my ideas. Ideas are very important to me.  Once I establish an idea in a painting\, I try to move forward and build on this idea—perhaps adding more ideas or shifting along dimensional lines. This allows my painting to evolve organically and spontaneously. I prefer this\, rather than following a plan from beginning to end. \nUltimately\, I hope to tell my story of abstract visual thought\, which explores ideas and their expression. Some of the issues explored are: structure\, shape\, space\, design\, proportion\, color\, texture\, sensuality\, and paint itself. I have had many exhibitions in shows\, galleries\, and museums\, across the United States.
