Past Exhibition
Japandi Revisited
Shared Aesthetics and Influences
December 7, 2024 – January 25, 2025
Wayne Art Center is pleased to partner with browngrotta arts gallery in Japandi Revisited: shared aesthetics and influences, curated by Tom Grotta and Rhonda Brown, browngrotta arts gallery, Wilton, CT.
In partnership with the Wayne Art Center, browngrotta arts gallery of Wilton, Conn will further explore common approaches shared between Japanese and Scandinavian cultures through art. Japandí Revised: shared aesthetics and influences will highlight artists working in Japan, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark, whose work reflects similar sensibilities including: 1) an appreciation for integrating nature and natural materials, 2) a near-reverence for exquisite craftsmanship, 3) an admiration for repurposing and respect for old and cherished items, and 4) a preference for neutrals and primary colors, clean lines, and under-ornamentation.
