WSAG is pleased to present ROSE HIRANO: “Fines Lines & Shadows” from March 1–17. Art Party with artist in attendance to be held on Thursday, March 8, 7–9 p.m. at 270 Wellington Street West, Toronto.
As an established artist, Rose Hirano works almost exclusively in reduction woodcut, a multi-inking process, printing from light to dark values using a single piece of wood. In the artist’s own words: “My works are pages from my visual journal—a log of my ideas and points of view using images instead of words. Searching for balance and personal peace draws me to the simplicity of abstracted images using a muted palette. I am drawn to bare trees, which are akin to the true nature of people, the way they truly are—unadorned and without pretense. I am equally intrigued by reflections, which impart essentially what appears to be—on the surface—leaving what lies below an intriguing source of wonderment.”
