GAL L E RY M I S S I O N Established in 2000, Sundaram Tagore Gallery is devoted to examining the exchange of ideas between Western and non-Western cultures. We focus on developing exhibitions and hosting not-for-profit events that encourage spiritual, social and aesthetic dialogues. In a world where communication is instant and cultures are colliding and melding as never before, our goal is to provide venues for art that transcend boundaries of all sorts. With alliances across the globe, our interest in cross-cultural exchange extends beyond the visual arts into many other disciplines, including poetry, literature, performance art, film and music.

MIYA ANDO | ( | ) SORA KU SKY EMPTINESS

Sundaram Tagore Galleries in Hong Kong and Ando’s new paintings are shades of vivid blue, Singapore are pleased to present a dual exhibition of pink, green, gray, orange and gold. It is a palette recent paintings by New York artist Miya Ando. inspired by nature, which she conjures from a limited selection of industrial pigments and dyes. A descendant of Bizen sword makers, Ando spent Combining pigment and urethane, she applies the her childhood among Buddhist priests in a temple in mixture with a brush to the metal canvas in a layered Okayama, Japan, and later, in California. Combining process. This allows for variations of hue and finish, traditional techniques of her ancestry with modern with some areas of the painting matte and others industrial technology, Ando skillfully turns sheets of glossy. To produce a high-gloss finish, she adds metal into ephemeral, abstract paintings suffused with additional layers of urethane and resin, which vividly color. The artist has produced more than ninety new amplify the reflective quality of the metal. Often works for these exhibitions, ranging in size from 30 x Ando will subtract layers by sanding and grinding 30 cm to 182 x 137 cm.  in order to achieve the desired finish.

She alters a metal’s properties by applying heat, sandpaper, grinders, Ando’s goal has always been to create a relationship pigments and chemical substances to produce subtle, between her industrial materials and the natural world. light-reflective gradations of texture and color.    This paradoxical pairing is intentional.

way for the artist, who is highly attuned to nature, to connect with her heritage, but it is also an exploration of impermanence and the passage of time. Ando attributes the Buddhist notion of ku (emptiness) to her paintings before viewer interaction occurs. Viewers counter the notion of ku and complete the painting when they become aware of the fleetingness of time embodied in the gradations of form and color that occur with the shifting of light over the course of the day and the passage of the seasons.   The artist’s use of color also determines the viewer experience. Ando perceives color as light moving at different frequencies. She plays upon this by employing glossy and matte finishes, as well as mineral dust, and contrasting color with glimpses of the metal canvas. The results can be translucent yet opaque, creating a juxtaposition that draws attention to transient moments captured in the painting.   A small selection of earlier paintings on anodized aluminum, in which sapphire crystals are electroplated to the metal, will also be on view.

The Singapore exhibition also includes two installations. The 1.9-by-1.9-meter installation Emptiness the Sky (Shou Sugi Ban) 2 is constructed of four walls clad in shou sugi ban, a charred wood used as an exterior building material in her hometown of Okayama. Similar to the metal she uses, the wood, once charred, is transformed, becoming stronger and more durable. On one wall is a small door, a nijiriguchi, a typical architectural element in Japanese chado (tea-ceremony houses). Teahouses are traditionally spaces without hierarchy or elitism and thus the nijiriguchi requires all who enter to bow their heads (traditionally, this included even Samurais, who also had to remove their swords, a symbol of rank, in order to enter). The interior of the sculpture offers a quiet space for contemplation and the experience of stepping inside one of Ando’s metal paintings. The artist’s second installation, Fuji (Wisteria) Forest, is composed of hundreds of cascading Bodhi leaves in gradients of purple, alluding to the artist’s heritage. The name Ando translates as “peaceful wisteria” and purple is the color of the wisteria flower. The 1.6-meter-tall

installation also references momiji-gari, the Japanese tradition of traveling to scenic areas to view autumn leaves. Although it is considered a secular event, there is a spiritual element, as viewers are reminded that all things are transitory and that these transformations, cyclical and otherwise, mark time. Miya Ando has a Bachelor of Arts degree in East Asian Studies from the University of California, Berkeley, and attended Yale University to study Buddhist iconography and imagery. She apprenticed with the master metalsmith Hattori Studio in Japan, followed by a residency at Northern California’s Public Art Academy. Her work has been shown worldwide, including in a show curated by Nat Trotman of the Guggenheim Museum and an exhibition at the Queens Museum, New York. A large installation is currently on view in Frontiers Reimagined, a collateral event of the 56th Venice Biennale (www.frontiersreimagined.org).
