Wednesday, October 21 6PM to 8PM
The Ronin Gallery
425 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10017
Cyoko Tamai is considered one of the most famed contemporary artists in her creation of a new form of art. Using the thinnest paper in the world, measuring .03mm, it is a very unique paper handmade by Sazio Hamada, a Living National Treasure. Strong, beautiful paper that contains long fibers and using a fine-pointed steel pen, augmented by sumi ink, Cyoko Tamai deconstructs and rebuilds. Breaks and incisions bleed ink, leaping beyond the paper’s surface, while choice individual fibers defy gravity, coaxed from the paper to form an ephemeral gauze.
There will be live demonstrations of her unique technique and her latest works will be in display.
In conjunction with ACAW (Asia Contemporary Art Week).
