gallery gen is pleased to present the latest works by the gallery's two main artists from Japan, Yoshiaki Yuki and Jun-ichi Arai. <br /><br />Yuki's work includes fourteen new paintings of calligraphic pictographs. Using his established method, he transforms the familiar Japanese characters into their ancient, original shapes which were really pictorial references to nature or figures. In addition, he has added a new element of exploration through the use of brighter color pigments which are then applied to those motifs.<br /><br />The second focus of this exhibition is Jun-ichi Arai's new textile works which were done in collaboration with Yoshiaki Yuki. By applying his well-known crush-press and heat-transfer techniques, Arai has imprinted Yuki's designs on to the surface of this new textile collection. <br /><br />The exhibition will take place at 201 Mulberry Street, New York from Friday, June 22 to 24th. The opening Night Preview will start at 6 pm until 8pm.<br />

</style> </div><div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt;">Professor Jeremy Myerson, the director of Helen Hamlyn Center who was the orator of the ceremony described Arai as “a futurist of fabric” and “the dream weaver.” Jack Lenor Larsen, who is also the RCA Hon Doc, called “rare bird – a post-industrial craftsman.”</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hctE8cC-Alw/T01Jqk1ss2I/AAAAAAAAAn0/QwEHDvZuLXo/s1600/E.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hctE8cC-Alw/T01Jqk1ss2I/AAAAAAAAAn0/QwEHDvZuLXo/s1600/E.jpg" /></a></div><div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt;">For more than fifty years, Arai has devoted his life to introducing technologic innovations to the textile making. He was the first attempted embracing computer technology integrated into traditional jacquard looming. As he called himself a textile engineer, he kept opening numerous new possibilities for the future of the textile industry.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12pt;">By his mastery of slit yarn, any irrelevant materials to traditional textile design, such as plastic, metal, aluminum and even stainless steel, were transformed into masterpieces of art. A reflective non-flammable fabric woven with polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) is just one of his substantial achievements. His unparalleled inventions of fabrics were inspiring the fashion of Issey Miyake and Comme des Garcons by Rei Kawakubo.

Yoshiaki Yuki’s canvas is known to have no bounds and his artwork ranges anything from functional ceramics and textiles to more massive works such as screens and paintings on acrylic sheets. <br />
<br />
His most characteristic style, called <i>“Jisho-Jiga”</i> <i>(Word as Form - Word as Image)</i>, is distinguished by his reconstruction of the Japanese language's first calligraphic pictographs, originally derived from the Oracle Bone Scripts of ancient China. His pictographs are expressed either figuratively through the use of bold monochromatic brush strokes or abstractly through the use of a variety of traditional Japanese painting mediums. Now showing his paintings and screens at keyes art projects. Yuki also has completed numerous commissioned works in wide range of fields.</span><br />

Mr. MacKenzie once said, “My favorite pots are those that have allowed me to discover their surprises and hidden beauty only after many years of daily use.” If you have acquired a piece of his, please put it to use and have it become a part of your daily life.<br />
<br />
All purchased pieces are ready to be picked up at our Long Island City <br />
showroom. If the piece is to be sent by mail, all shipments are scheduled to go out during the first and second week of December.</span><span id="goog_626240256"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

His new screen paintings are more massive and dynamic than ever. The shimmering silver and the powerful red and indigo colors will be sure to leave a lasting impression and change your concept of modern art. Titled “Kai-ki – Regression,” these 12-panel screens as well as his asymmetrical modern screens have a wonderful transformational quality that enables you to enjoy the fluidity of these functional arts by shaping them to suit your living environment. Yuki's popular silver ceramic series will also be back with a new selection of designs.<br /></div></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://yoshiakiyuki.com/ceramic/cla_06.html"><img style="float: left;

To name a few, <a href="http://www.habatatgalleries.com/">Habatat Galleries</a> specializing in contemporary glass stood strong; and another gallery from Long Island City - <a href="http://www.deanproject.com/">Dean Project</a> with sculptures and contemporary photography did very well on his first year at the fair.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_G9UHYhzFUC0/S2GwOVei2vI/AAAAAAAAAK4/sIfj4896EX0/s1600-h/Silver-Bowl.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 204px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 154px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431816385915443954" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_G9UHYhzFUC0/S2GwOVei2vI/AAAAAAAAAK4/sIfj4896EX0/s400/Silver-Bowl.jpg" /></a>The dominant works on exhibit were two and three dimensional wall hanging pieces, however, a considerable amount of the smaller three dimensional objects were seen with red dots. There was a larger selection of Latin-American artists and fewer contemporary Chinese Art in comparison to last year.<br /><br />We were happy to see <a href="http://www.artaldo.com/">Aldo Castillo</a> who has represented <a href="http://www.yoshiakiyuki.com/">Yoshiaki Yuki</a> in Chicago, with his curatorial exhibition “Next Generation.” </p><p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_G9UHYhzFUC0/S2GwmW_0fxI/AAAAAAAAALA/d1PPoFMClBk/s1600-h/Red-Screen-Item.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 204px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 158px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431816798640307986" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_G9UHYhzFUC0/S2GwmW_0fxI/AAAAAAAAALA/d1PPoFMClBk/s400/Red-Screen-Item.jpg" /></a>One disappointing reflection of the current climate was that there was a sense amongst Palm Beach collectors to lean towards works created by established artists, though there were many beautiful works on show by artists less well known.<br /></p><p><a href="http://www.gallerygen.com/">gallery gen</a> featured the wide collection of works by <a href="http://www.gallerygen.com/art/yuki.html">Yoshiaki Yuki</a>, and the lush textiles by <a href="http://www.gallerygen.com/art/arai.html">Jun-ichi Arai</a>.<span style="font-size:78%;"> </span>With the exception of <a href="http://browngrotta.com/index.html">Browngrotta Arts</a> of Connecticut, gallery gen was the only exhibitor to offer artists from Japan, which was well received increased interest in Japan, not only in the arts but also on the cultural level as a whole.</p><p><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_G9UHYhzFUC0/S2GyPdj3U8I/AAAAAAAAALI/kOj6s02m3zI/s1600-h/Consul-General-of-Japan.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 243px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 238px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431818604288365506" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_G9UHYhzFUC0/S2GyPdj3U8I/AAAAAAAAALI/kOj6s02m3zI/s400/Consul-General-of-Japan.jpg" /></a>The Consul General of Japan, Yoshiharu Namiki (far left) also came to view our latest collection, together with the members from the <a href="http://www.morikami.org/">Morikami Museum</a> of Florida, and Larry Rosenweig from the <a href="http://www.norton.org/">Norton Museum</a> in Palm Beach.<br /></p><p></p><p></p><p><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_G9UHYhzFUC0/S2GzH_xkLGI/AAAAAAAAALQ/vSyLViMtI1Y/s1600-h/Silver-Screen-with-Customers-2.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 245px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 222px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431819575545310306" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_G9UHYhzFUC0/S2GzH_xkLGI/AAAAAAAAALQ/vSyLViMtI1Y/s400/Silver-Screen-with-Customers-2.jpg" /></a> As you approached our booth, you will see Yuki’s bold brush strokes carving the image of the sun.<span style="font-size:0;"> </span>Yuki has executed this on the lavish twelve feet wide silver screen titled <em><a href="http://www.yoshiakiyuki.com/screen/ssg_20.html">Kai-Ki</a></em> (right).<br /></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p><br /><br />Many of the visitors from last year recognized Yuki’s work immediately, for they clearly had a presence even amongst the other thousands of works on show. </p><p><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G9UHYhzFUC0/S2GzUrF0QWI/AAAAAAAAALY/M_i93jtSFGo/s1600-h/Modern-Screen.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 247px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 146px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431819793331405154" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G9UHYhzFUC0/S2GzUrF0QWI/AAAAAAAAALY/M_i93jtSFGo/s400/Modern-Screen.jpg" /></a>Unlike the other 'solid' objects in the fair, the free forming fluidity of this piece proved to spark much interest. They gave the viewers an opportunity to imagine how it would transform by shaping and re-shaping the screen and what effect that would have in their living environment.<br /><br />Contrasts to this were Yuki’s latest paintings on screens which fused his signature red textures with traditional indigo.<span style="font-size:0;"> </span>The six foot high irregular shaped <a href="http://www.yoshiakiyuki.com/whatsnew_0110c.html">two and three panel screens</a> (above) received serious attention. Yuki’s unique sense for design has allowed the traditional ‘screen’ to move away from their traditional role as ‘furniture’ and towards ‘sculpture’, though still inheriting their quality as a functional art.<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_G9UHYhzFUC0/S2GzfB9c74I/AAAAAAAAALg/_4923WNSMGo/s1600-h/Red-Screen.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 265px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431819971269029762" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_G9UHYhzFUC0/S2GzfB9c74I/AAAAAAAAALg/_4923WNSMGo/s400/Red-Screen.jpg" /></a>Yuki’s paintings imbedded in the <a href="http://www.yoshiakiyuki.com/painting/pmm_02.html">three-layered acryl</a> found new owners, who included professional art consultant Bob Koo (below), interior designers, as well as private collectors. </p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_G9UHYhzFUC0/S2Gzsi9RyuI/AAAAAAAAALo/oVXleGaPsv4/s1600-h/Bob-Koo.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 121px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 202px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431820203464968930" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_G9UHYhzFUC0/S2Gzsi9RyuI/AAAAAAAAALo/oVXleGaPsv4/s400/Bob-Koo.jpg" /></a>The <a href="http://www.yoshiakiyuki.com/ceramic/csi_41.html">silver ceramics</a> attracted quite a frenzy, for their quality and affordability.

The history of chirimen ("crepe" in English) in the Tango region of Japan (currently the Northern part of Kyoto Prefecture) dates back to AD 750. The main characteristic of this type of crepe is its supple texture, which is created by weaving strongly twisted threads together. This textile officially became known as Tango chirimen about 250 or more years ago, during the mid Edo era.<br /><br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G9UHYhzFUC0/SzvxfidG-cI/AAAAAAAAAHA/ik4ih2LwY9M/s1600-h/furoshiki.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 332px; height: 324px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G9UHYhzFUC0/SzvxfidG-cI/AAAAAAAAAHA/ik4ih2LwY9M/s400/furoshiki.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421192100597660098" border="0"></a>Yuki’s <font style="font-weight: bold;">Crepe Furoshiki</font><br /> with the image of the gaurdian god, Fudo-Myo-O<br /> 35.5” x 35.5” $90.00<br /></div><br />Yuki’s crepe furoshiki is polyester and is woven on a traditional silk crepe weaving machine. In olden days crepe textile was woven in silk. In recent years, however, synthetic versions using rayon and polyester have become widely used alternatives. Polyester is more wrinkle-resistant than rayon, and its durability is also superior. Unlike silk which requires a high level of maintenance, polyester can be washed and does not require ironing.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G9UHYhzFUC0/Szvy7TVvksI/AAAAAAAAAHI/Ea_PaxczZDI/s1600-h/items.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 314px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G9UHYhzFUC0/Szvy7TVvksI/AAAAAAAAAHI/Ea_PaxczZDI/s400/items.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421193677088199362" border="0"></a><br />It is not only a beautiful piece of art, but as a furoshiki, can be used in many practical ways such as a gift wrapping, a lightweight carryall or as a decorative item. Because they are durable, lightweight, and extremely compact when folded for storing, in Japan furoshiki are experiencing a resurgence in use and have recently become one of the country's most popular eco-friendly items.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_G9UHYhzFUC0/Szv0ct9nOjI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/3BU2UCEWTy0/s1600-h/on-the-talbe.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 328px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_G9UHYhzFUC0/Szv0ct9nOjI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/3BU2UCEWTy0/s400/on-the-talbe.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421195350682057266" border="0"></a><br />Yuki’s<span style="font-weight: bold;"> crepe furoshiki </span>(35.5” x 35.5”) is slightly larger in size than a typical furoshiki; making it much easier to wrap large objects, such as wine and sake bottles. Once you start using furoshiki, you will truly appreciate its usefulness as its versatility allows you to wrap almost anything regardless of its shape or size. It not only make a great gift idea, but using it as a gift wrapping, adds a unique element to that special holiday gift. This Fudo-Myo-O inspired crepe furoshiki is also available for purchase at Clodagh Collection’s Manhattan showroom.<br /><br /><br />gallerygenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01911290160345639836noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833325175179730378.post-68050914667527346802009-12-30T18:29:00.019-05:002009-12-30T19:43:35.887-05:00Winter Table & Gift Show<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G9UHYhzFUC0/Szvlm2hFPqI/AAAAAAAAAGI/LgPwqmN2DiI/s1600-h/top.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 338px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G9UHYhzFUC0/Szvlm2hFPqI/AAAAAAAAAGI/LgPwqmN2DiI/s400/top.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421179032102583970" border="0" /></a>Happy Holidays!<br /><br />gallery gen is once again having its annual “Winter Table & Gift” show<br />which will start the day after Thanksgiving at our Long Island City showroom.<br /> <br />Tableware for serving holiday food to scarves for<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_G9UHYhzFUC0/SzvnIAs6-CI/AAAAAAAAAGY/IdToJSD94e8/s1600-h/silver+set.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 152px; height: 247px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_G9UHYhzFUC0/SzvnIAs6-CI/AAAAAAAAAGY/IdToJSD94e8/s400/silver+set.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421180701283907618" border="0" /></a> keeping your loved ones warm and stylish, our wide selection will be sure to inspire you with many great holiday gift ideas.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G9UHYhzFUC0/Szvm4NSAgHI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/xrhpuCkGhbA/s1600-h/calender.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 208px; height: 169px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G9UHYhzFUC0/Szvm4NSAgHI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/xrhpuCkGhbA/s400/calender.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421180429782777970" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: right;">Sake Cup (Guinomi) Gift Set<br /></div><div style="text-align: right;">3 silver ceramic sake cups<br /></div>2010 gallery gen Calender<br />designed by Yoshiaki Yuki<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">NEW ARRIVAL</span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_G9UHYhzFUC0/SzvnyZV-iMI/AAAAAAAAAGg/2Mj4Zq-77pM/s1600-h/chirimen.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 179px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_G9UHYhzFUC0/SzvnyZV-iMI/AAAAAAAAAGg/2Mj4Zq-77pM/s400/chirimen.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421181429453064386" border="0" /></a><br />Yoshiaki Yuki’s newest item will also be available for this special occasion.
