Imayō: Workshop on lacquer arts & processes by lacquer artist SOMEYA Satoshi

October 21, 3:00pm - 4:30pm
Mānoa Campus, Art Building, room #101

Lacquer artist SOMEYA Satoshi presents his lacquer techniques at this workshop. He is one of six artists highlighted in the exhibition "Imayō: Japan's New Traditionists" on view at The Art Gallery at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa (Oct. 2 – Dec. 2, 2016) and at the Honolulu Museum of Art (Oct. 13, 2016 – Jan. 9, 2017).

SOMEYA Satoshi, described by Japan Times as “one of the most significant contemporary lacquer artists working in Japan today,” uses such unconventional materials as horns and bones, sand and stones, and leaves and branches to successfully challenge the limits of this traditional medium.
