NORO PARTIDO
The Carmel Art Association welcomes spring and opens its doors to new exhibitions for the month of April. Local artists Heidi Hybl and Noro Partido display abstract oil paintings and prints in their show titled Datsuzoku. The duo continues their exploration of the seven pillars of Japanese aesthetics known as wabi-sabi within their own artistic practices. Last year, they concentrated on producing work inspired by Kanso, a term used to encompass simplicity and essential form. This year, they focus on Datsuzoku – an exploration of creative freedom. Partido’s creative process emphasizes action and response – atmosphere, water and landscape are recurring themes. An artist talk happens at 2pm Saturday, April 22. On display until May 1. [AP]
