Item Description
A descendant of Bizen sword makers, New York-based artist Miya Ando spent her childhood among Buddhist priests in a temple in Okayama, Japan, and later, in California. Best known for her sublime metal paintings, Ando combines the traditional techniquest of her ancestry with modern industrial technology, skillfully transforming sheets of metal into ephemeral, abstract paintings suffused with color.
"My interest is in creating work that allows viewers to experience a relationship to nature and to be truly in the moment as they encoutner the transitory qualities of light." Ando Says. "I want to draw people into a slowed-down enviromnent with work that is experiential and employes the visual vocabulary of natural phenomena and transformation."
Miya Ando has produced numerous public commissions, most notably a thirty-foot-tall scuplture in London built from World Trade Center steel to mark the ten-year anniversary of 9/11, for which she was recently nominated for a CARC Award in Best Light Art Installation. Awards includ the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, in 2012.
