Kathleen Adair Brown
The Golden Thread
Paintings, Collage + Drawings
June 17 – July 31, 2010
Adair Brown's retrospective will include over 50 pieces from the 1940s to present. This is the first full-scale look at Adair Brown's long career since many of her paintings, drawings, collages and boxes in the exhibition are on public display for the first time.
Of her work Adair Brown states:
“In making my work I use Xerox copies, sometimes in different sizes, of only the few drawings that I feel are good and true. On the Xerox copies I am free to experiment with different colors, while keeping the drawings unspoiled. I use dry pastel and watercolor over which I brush an egg yolk wash; that finishing wash returns the depth and vibrancy of the watercolor's original wetness and also reveals the mystery that lies within pastel. I tear and rearrange those painted pieces on a heavy sheet of watercolor paper before pasting them down, keeping the composition fluid until all the parts fit well into the final painting. I find my subject matter in books, following The Golden Thread in poetry, history, and literature; my work is that Golden Thread made visible."

Ikaika (read more, view images...)
Paintings + Sculpture by Mac James
April 29 – June 12, 2010
The exhibit "Ikaika" (meaning to be strong) features recent painting and sculpture by nationally acclaimed artist Mac James of Anahola. The works in "Ikaika" chronicle a story of animals and sea life on and around Kauai, including various trees portrayed as souled beings. James adds a written narrative to many of his pieces in order to expand the tale, working the writing into the composition, not just adding it as an afterthought. Story and folklore thus extend through many of the works, as do the artist’s own tales of Anahola.

"A-HA"

-Curated by Inger Tully, curator of exhibitions at The Contemporary Museum in Honolulu, "A-HA" features six artists currently living on the Hawaiian islands of Oahu and Maui: Eli Baxter, Jaisy Hanlon, Vince Hazen, Ryan Higa, Wendy Kawabata and Christopher Reiner.
Utilizing unusual materials and processes to create their pieces the artists’ choice of media is often specific to their underlying concept or idea. The resulting works in two and three dimensions are, as the title "A-HA" suggests, both surprising and unexpected.

"Like Andy Warhol, Wayne Zebzda presents something familiar, transforms it through the eye of the artist, and asks us to see it differently. However, where Warhol was dour, Zebzda has a twinkle in his eye and is hell-bent on delighting the viewer." -- Paul Janes-Brown, Maui Weekly
