Semana Santa / Venus' Security Check - 2004

Masami Teraoka is a noted Contemporary artist with over 70 solo exhibitions and works in more than 50 public collections worldwide, including the Met, the Tate, the Smithsonian and the Whitney. Masami’s website describes his recent work as the challenge of “Weaving news media, reality, fantasy, visionary, imaginary and otherworldly reality with humor, line, form and color, commentary, topicality, and a high level of aesthetics …. I try to focus on current issues articulated on a metaphorical level rather than recreating a mere copy of reality. Each narrative creates a fantastical aesthetic world where human folly and dilemma are expressed in such a way that the beauty and ugliness of human activity and psyche thrive in a complex pictorial recipe”.

APRIL 4 - Living with Art and Architecture with Joan and Joe
Farrell

The Farrell's discussed their art collection and Joe, an architect, presented his perspective of how their spacious, flowing home serves as a main element in
magnifying their art collection.  He explained how the sculpting of space is the most significant part of architecture.  

Mary Mitsuda, whose art makes up part of the Farrell's collection, also shared some thoughts about the interplay of observation and abstraction based on her
recent experiences in Snowden Hodge's summer atelier class, her plein air painting and her non-figurative work.
