    Mayuko Ono Gray: となりの花はあかい - The Rose Is Always Redder Next Door



    CSN ARTSPACE GALLERY EXHIBITION Mayuko Ono Gray: となりの花はあかい - The Rose Is Always Redder Next Door

    Friday, February 14 through Saturday, March 28, 2020 North Las Vegas Campus - Artspace Gallery

    The College of Southern Nevada Department of Fine Arts will host an exhibition of drawings that reflect on life that is both culturally Japanese and American by Houston (TX) based artist, art gallery director and adjunct professor of art for the College of the Mainland, Mayuko Ono Gray. となりの花はあかい: The Rose Is Always Redder Next Door will begin Friday, February 14, 2020 and will run through Saturday, March 28, 2020. Ms. Gray will participate in a Gallery Talk on Wednesday, March 25, 2020, at 6 p.m. A Reception with refreshments will follow Ms. Gray’s Gallery Talk in the Artspace Gallery.

    Mayuko Ono Gray is a Houston-based artist whose main medium is graphite drawing. Born in Gifu, Japan, she was trained in traditional Japanese calligraphy in her young childhood; later in her teenage years, she was trained in classical Western drawing. After graduating from high school in Japan, she moved to the U.S. to study English and further investigate art. She earned her MFA in painting from the University of Houston and currently works as adjunct professor of art and as the Art Gallery Director for the College of the Mainland. Her works are represented by Hooks-Epstein galleries in Houston and Galeria 910 in Oaxaca, Mexico, and her works have been exhibited internationally in Tokyo and Oaxaca, Mexico.

    Speaking of her work, Gray says;


    “Reflecting a life which is both culturally Japanese and American, my graphite drawings hybridize influences from traditional Japanese calligraphy combined with Western drawing practices and aesthetics. Growing up in Japan, every Saturday afternoon was spent with my Sensei, a calligraphy master who would assign words for each of us to practice. We would spend hours producing copies of the Sensei's sample. The goal was to imitate the sample, paying attention to the line quality; the varying speed; and the pressure and angle of the brush movement. Whether through the literary artifacts of traditional proverbs, or through personal expressions in poetry and pictures, these word-images are reflections on human nature, place, self, ephemerality, permanence, and universal wisdom. Simply stated, these drawings are expressions of a unique perspective, where East and West combine.”

    The CSN Artspace Gallery is free and open to the public.

    Gallery hours are from 8 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Monday through Friday

    8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.


    The Artspace Gallery is upstairs above the main entrance lobby on the North Las Vegas campus


    3200 E. Cheyenne Avenue, one-mile East of I-15 North. For more information, please call (702) 651-4146 http://www.csn.edu/artgallery

    Arranged Structures at Priscilla Fowler Fine Art Gallery



    Priscilla Fowler Fine Art presents Arranged Structures: Rebekah Andrade & Don Lyle January 17 – February 29, 2020

    Las Vegas artists Rebekah Andrade and Don Lyle come together for our first exhibition of 2020, presenting a selection of recent works that blend loose gestures and geometric colorworking.

    Andrade’s repetitive forms show her intense compulsion and contemplation of spatial arrangements. Each iteration of her Constructed Thoughts series has obvious similarities, but looking closer reveals the nuanced details that makes each unique. Smooth linework, strident textures, and color fields vary from frame to frame, just as we never recall the same memory twice in exactly the same way. These abstractions represent the relationships between psychological states and physical surroundings.

    Lyle’s artworks emphasize the essential forms of their composition: an appendage, an edifice, an interaction. The viewer can see his works arranging themselves, abstract lines becoming more figurative in relation to each other. These take on more finalized forms through his three-dimensional constructions, capturing a singular emotion or held posture. Their structures are much more defined and takes on a tactile quality through the use of wood, metal, and striking color; organic lines now bound by a strict anatomy.

    Rebekah Andrade holds a BFA in Visual Arts from Emily Carr University of Art + Design. Currently, she is studying graphic design through Parsons School of Design in New York City and recently completed a residency at Otis College of Art in Los Angeles.

    Don Lyle grew up in Auburn, Alabama playing in his father’s chemistry lab and studied Architecture. He received a BFA at Utah State University where he studied with photographer Craig Law. He has been nominated for several Emmys and was awarded an Emmy for his story, City Sounds, which chronicles studio musicians in Las Vegas, Nevada.

    OPENING RECEPTION: January 17th, 5-11pm FIRST FRIDAY: February 6th, 5-11pm

    Artists will be present both dates and live music will be played by Clifton Vickers on the 17th and Gonsin Cree & Daniel Echo (Echo Cree) for First Friday.


    GALLERY OPEN HOURS: Tuesday – Thursday 12 – 6pm; Friday – Saturday 11 – 8pm; Sunday – Monday 11 – 6pm
