Troped Tropicalia by Ashley Bickerton
Troped Tropicalia by Ashley Bickerton

(PRWEB) August 03, 2018 -- The Friends of Hawaii State Art Museum (FHiSAM) continue their Hawaii Artists’ 2018 Portfolio Project, with the official opening of the Portfolio 2018 Exhibit featuring new works by six globally acclaimed Hawaii artists on Friday, August 3, from 6-9 p.m.

This Portfolio is a fine edition of artworks that displays the range of traditional and digital technologies associated with printmaking today...This is a rare opportunity to acquire works of this caliber for the collector of contemporary art editions.

Post this

WHAT: Following the success of July's Portfolio Preview Show, twenty-three of fifty valuable signed and numbered Portfolios are available as a gift to Friends at the Benefactor membership level. This Portfolio and show are curated by Michael Rooks, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the High Museum in Atlanta. Prior to joining the High Museum, Rooks held curatorial positions at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, The Contemporary Museum Honolulu, and the Honolulu Academy of Arts. As curator at The Contemporary Museum, Honolulu, Rooks curated more than fifteen exhibitions, including projects by Michael Lin, Paul Morrison, and Yoshitomo Nara—introducing audiences in Hawaii to a new generation of international contemporary art.

Local artists Ashley Bickerton, Kaili Chun, Yvonne Cheng, Paul Pfeiffer, Garnett Puett, and Lawrence Seward have donated works for the Portfolio. 30 works will be on display: pieces by Cheng, Chun, and Seward are for sale, and works by Bickerton and Pfeiffer from private collections will be on view.

Quotes:

Michael Rooks, curator: “This Portfolio is a fine edition of artworks that displays the range of traditional and digital technologies associated with printmaking today. From Chun’s digital collage, Pfeiffer’s Fujiflex photo, to Cheng’s hand pulled screen print on Japanese mulberry paper, digital technology was used alongside traditional techniques to create these beautiful and compelling works. This is a rare opportunity to acquire works of this caliber for the collector of contemporary art editions.”

Joyce Okano, President of FHiSAM: "From Puett’s capture of process as art, Bickerton’s process of creating his “Troped Tropicalia," and Seward’s symbolism of his return from New York to Hawaii, each are individually thought provoking, as art should be."

WHY: FHiSAM’s goal is to increase HiSAM and Hawaii artists' visibility through local exhibitions, advertising, and other initiatives, providing greater visibility and appreciation locally, with visitors and the international art world.

WHERE:
Artizen Gallery and HiSAM Museum Gallery Shop x MORI by Art+Flea, 250 South Hotel Street (ground floor of the No. 1 Capitol District Building and home to the Hawaii State Art Museum); “State of Art” opening at HiSAM, 2nd floor.
