Japan on Paseo - A Solo Show by Natalie Friedman

April 18, 2011 - PRLog -- In Your Eye Gallery, in the Historic Paseo Arts District, presents an opening and exhibit by Oklahoma artist Natalie Friedman. In this solo show, Natalie conveys the deep inspiration she feels from her travels and studies about Japan. Show runs thru May 30.

Natalie Friedman, a mixed media artist with In Your Eye Gallery, is channeling her love of Japan into a solo exhibition of her artwork. Natalie has been fascinated with Japan for many years. She explains that, “The culture, the symbols, the calligraphy, the colors, the spiritualism and the exquisite papers and textiles all speak loudly to me.”

Natalie describes herself as a “layerist.” She uses paint, papers, found objects and any other materials at hand (even vintage kimono fabric) to create her intriguing layers. She uses a combination of transparent and opaque passages to engage the viewer’s eye in a dance around and through each artwork.

Plan to join Natalie Friedman at In Your Eye Gallery on May 6 for an artistic trip halfway around the world to Japan! You won’t want to miss this journey!

(A portion of Natalie’s proceeds will be donated to relief efforts for the Japan earthquake and tsunami.)
