Mayuko Ono Gray X Alyson J. Barton

Rosewood Arts Center, Kettering Health Art Gallery

Mayuko Ono Gray’s large scale charcoal drawings on paper, reference her background, both culturally Japanese and American. This hybridized background influences her drawing practices and aesthetics. Her drawings represent people, animals and still life. She then matches a Japanese proverb spelled out with hiragana and kanji characters and intertwines them to create a single line within the imagery.

Alyson J. Barton’s photographs are inseparably linked to nature, memory, myth, and a deep relationship with land and place of her childhood in England. The romanticized landscapes blend tonalism and pictorialism and are rendered in historic photographic practices and old master painting techniques.
