K. Imperial Fine Art is pleased to present a new body of work by New York based artist Miya Ando. In Tides & Phases of the Moon, her first solo exhibit with the gallery, Ando explores light and hues inspired by tidal shifts and currents driven by gravitational lunar forces. Ando, a descendant of Bizen sword makers and Buddhist priests, was raised between a temple in Okayama, Japan and the Santa Cruz Mountains of Northern California. She combines traditional techniques of her ancestry with her own innovations in modern industrial technology. She produces light-reflecting gradients on her metal paintings by applying heat, sandpaper, grinders, acid and patinas, irrevocably altering the material's chemical properties. It's by an almost meditative daily repetition of these techniques that Ando is able to subtract, reduce and distill her concept until it reaches its simplest form. K Imperial Fine Art is located at 49 Geary Street on the 4th floor in San Francisco. The artist reception for MIYA ANDO: Tides and Phases of The Moon will be held on Thursday, October 3rd from 5:30- 7:30 pm.
