We are pleased to present "Resonance/Resonance," a two-person exhibition by Kumi Nakajima (glass) and Brian C. Lo (painting) from March 16 (Thursday) to March 24 (Saturday), 2018. After graduating from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where they both studied art at the same time, the two artists met again by chance in Tokyo, and after their 2016 exhibition "OSMOSIS," they have now organized their second two-person exhibition. Kumi Nakajima, who explores abstract expression beyond the framework of functional glass art, and Brian C. Lo. who experimentally crosses over into the painterly realm by not using a paintbrush. We hope you will enjoy "Resonance" by these two artists, who are dissimilar, yet continue to challenge new possibilities in art.
