New Exhibition at Wiegand Gallery at NDNU

From The Wiegand Gallery: The Wiegand Gallery at Notre Dame de Namur University (NDNU) is pleased to present the exhibition Britta Kathmeyer, Masako Miki & Sara Pringle: Paintings, Works on Paper & Installation. from March 22 through April 22, 2017. The artists’ reception takes place on Sunday, April 2, 2017, from 2 to 4 p.m. The Wiegand Gallery is located on the NDNU campus at 1500 Ralston Avenue in Belmont, California.

“These three exceptional Bay Area artists raise provocative questions about our place in nature,” said Wiegand Gallery Director Robert Poplack. “Their art also explores issues of identity, myth, and culture.”

Britta Kathmeyer creates art that moves between ambiguity and revelation. She finds inspiration in restraint, working with ink, coffee, and other water-based media to create spaces for memories, emotions, and imagination. Her work is influenced and guided by Eastern philosophy and the observation of nature.

Masako Miki´s work envisions a cosmic view of our world in constant flux, expressed through an affinity and connection with nature. Her current series, Conversations with Fox, Feather, and Ghost, is inspired by the idea of soul and spirits—a realm between material and immaterial worlds where boundaries dissolve.

Sara Pringle uses provocative self-portraits painted onto grand sceneries, and small works on paper to elicit ambivalent narratives of self, sexuality, identity, and the body. She is interested in dualities: flatness and perspective, synthetic vs. natural light, pattern and chaos. Her visual language holds in balance the tenuous intersection of abstraction and nature.
