More Info
Our heart and minds are with the Japanese people and now its time for action!
The Toronto arts community felt the shock much like everyone else when images first started to appear on the news and stories through friends started to come in

Many of the artists have traveled to Japan as visiting artists or to study its rich culture and its embrace with nature and nurture. We have made many friends and built bridges through collabora...tions and deep friendship

Curator Rafi Ghanaghounian and Artist Daisuke Takeya are organizing a fundraiser event that will bring the arts community of Toronto together to support our friends in Japan both mentally and financially. All artists and performers will give their time and efforts for this very cause

This night will include musicians, artists, poets from both Canada and Japan. As well galleries have donated books and other items available for purchase

Artists Marcinku Kedzior, Yumi Onose and Lorena Salomé will show work on the 11th and they will respond to this experience the next night.
Curator : Claudia Wittmann

"I imagine that there is some sort of meeting material from the artist and from the audience around art pieces
and that this generates a brew that can become part of the work.
Is it possible to see some of this "brewing"?
Is it the same for performance and for other art forms?
Will we see the "brewing" if we witness how Marcin, Yumi and Lorena respond to their own work?
You should join us......" Claudia Wittmann

On Evolving Forms

2007-10-07T19:34:00.000-07:00

Chikako Nagayama

In subtle and playful ways, Harvey Chan’s and Yumi Onose’s works unwind our commonsense knowledge of reality. Their art presentations here are a series of ‘organic science fiction’, I would say. As much as their imageries resonate with our nostalgia for what has been lost, they speak to our desires for what is yet to be seen.

We are not only who we are. But also we are constant ‘becoming’. While my consciousness claims my continuous identity, my body’s cells pass on their lives to the next generation of cells in various cycles. We are born as humans, but human embryos appear to repeat a cycle of evolution process from fish to reptiles to mammals.

“Where am I heading, if I am ‘becoming’?,” you might ask. “Will I be the same, or will I be different?” Organic forms by Harvey and Yumi prompt the zero point of our ‘becoming’. Don’t worry - just stop and see. Forms are often more eloquent than words.

We are destined to change, therefore, made to be vulnerable. Thus our need to be interdependent with other beings. Love is the flip side of evolution, indeed.

OPENING RECEPTION:
October 4 (Thu) 7-10 pm
Performance by
Keiko Ninomiya 7:30pm

Two Toronto-based artists Harvey Chan and Yumi Onose collaborate on "Evolving Forms" - an exhibition which is highly imaginative and original. Both artists have their roots back to the Far East - Harvey from China (Hong Kong) and Yumi from Japan. Having lived in places near the ocean and cities that are full of urban myths, Manga and Anime cult, the work reveals such influences and provides a platform for dialogue, reflection and mergence of both artists' styles and interests. Cocoons, oceanic creatures, masks, hybrid fantastic characters, organic forms traveling in space. Flux between abstraction and representation. Harvey Chan and Yumi Onose shares their dreams and memories of the beauty and mystery they found in all the evolving forms in nature and their subconscious. Harvey Chan was born in Hong Kong, China. He has established himself as an illustrator since graduated from Ontario College of Art and Design. For many years, Harvey's diversified approach on commercial assignments is also greatly reflected on his personal work. Figurative work has always been a primary subject in his drawings, paintings and sculptures for a long time. in recent years, spiritual and natural forms has slowly emerged in his work and taking the central stage. Fantastical and hybrid forms are found in Harvey's most recent creations. Yumi Onose was born in Mito, Ibalaki, Japan. Her childhood being spent nearby the ocean keeps her heart close to the essence of the ever changing forms in nature. 'Tero Tero' - Yumi's self-invented half human-half fish creature perhaps symbolizes Yumi's sense of her relation to the time before her physical existing. Yumi's passion in traveling and learning lead to her study of painting, ceramics, and installation. Partly inspired by recent traveling across Canada, masks and Cocoons are among some of Yumi's sculptural work.
