Show in Japan is Cancelled Due to Coronavirus Pandemic

     I was expecting to hold a solo exhibition in Asuka, Nara, Japan this April, but this trip highly likely will be cancelled due to concerns surrounding the spread of COVID-19.  I am profoundly disappointed and regret that I had to cancel the show.  It was a difficult decision because I was really looking forward to exhibit my work in the traditional Japanese Machiya-style gallery in Asuka, the ancient capital of Japan.  I hope I will have another chance like this in the future.

 今年の4月、奈良、明日香村での個展を予定しておりましたが、新型コロナウィルス感染症の拡大防止のため、私の渡航も難しくなってきました。大変残念ながら、今回の個展は中止せざるを得なくなりました。日本のいにしえの都、飛鳥を訪れ、伝統的な町家風のユニークな画廊での展示をとても楽しみにしていましたので、大変難しい決断でした。いつかまたこのような機会が訪れることを願ってやみません。




Garo Asuka, Asuka, Nara, Japan
画廊飛鳥、奈良県高市郡明日香村大字平田260
Dates: April 15 - April 17, 1 pm - 6 pm, 2020
Cancelled -- 残念ながら、中止になりました。
本当に次回の機会がありますことを願っております。ウェブサイトはこちらです。

Artist Talk at Tulsa Community College Center for Creativity

      At Tulsa Community College Center for Creativity, I was given an opportunity to do an artist talk.  I had been very nervous about speaking in front of the huge projector screen, but I have to tell you, I really like PowerPoint!


     I talked a little about myself, and showed images of 11 works and the stories behind them.  While I was looking back at my past works, I realized I have made quite a volume of works under a consistent theme.





    Many good questions were asked.  It was fun!  Gallery directors and curators, if you are interested in my artist talk and exhibition of my works, please contact me through my website.  Chiyoko Myose Website

Chiyoko Myose Guest Artist Exhibition at Tulsa Community College Center For Creativity

     For the show at Tulsa Community College Center for Creativity, I arrived in Tulsa a couple of days before.  The weather was gorgeous.  I took some pictures of TCC's McKeon Center for Creativity, the home of my work for the month of March.

   




     

     The installation went very well thanks to two people's help.  The standing tables were very helpful for me.



     The works started to appear in front of the outside background with some running vehicles.   They are looking  nice from the outside, too.



Here are some images of the finished works.









     "LOVE" letters that were added in Chiba, Japan appeared nicely this time.  At some exhibitions they do, and at some other time, they don't.  It just depends on how I hang the piece.  



     The students from the class that I visited for a lecture were the first people who added new pieces of thread to my work in the city of Tulsa.  


     The paintings are here, too!  My paintings are available to purchase.  If you are interested in purchasing them, please contact me through my website Chiyoko Myose Website or just email me at cmyose@hotmail.com
