Art Salon of Greenwich

The Art Salon of Greenwich, hosted by the Art Touch Collection, will present 4 programs in 2010.  Each program will feature a speaker.  Speaker topics will include but not be limited to, Asian art.  The program is free.  Registration is required due to limited seating.  Light refreshments will be served.  We hope to offer a virtual tour of culture and art via the speaker’s view and to create an enjoyable discussion through an interactive exchange of ideas in each program. 

Art Touch Collection, located in Greenwich, Connecticut, is a private gallery in a home setting.  The gallery exhibits and sells Asian contemporary art pieces of paintings, prints, sculptures and photography by established and selected emerging artists.

 

Our upcoming program will be held on March 18, 2010, Thursday, 1:00 – 3:00 pm at Art Touch Collection, 140 Round Hill Road, Greenwich, CT 06831. 

 

We are very pleased to have Ms. Koko Nakayama as our speaker.  Her topic is “Japanese Woodcut: from Ukiyo-e to Present”.  Ms. Nakayama worked 8 years as a curator with The Adachi Foundation for the Preservation of Woodcut Printing in Tokyo, Japan, before moving to Greenwich, Connecticut.  She had arranged and directed exhibitions at the Foundation’s gallery in Tokyo and abroad, including special demonstrations for international VIPs, like King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden and former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder of Germany.

Registration is first-come first-served.  Please contact Jeff Lum at your earliest convenience at 203 661-0140 or jefflum@arttouchcollection.com

GAO Yuan was born in Taiwan.  In 1987, GAO began studying in Japan under Miki Jun at Nihon University in Tokyo and received her MFA degree in Photography in 1989.  After extensive experience in commercial and fashion photography, she completed advanced courses in photography at the New York Film Academy in 1997. 

GAO shoots in both black-and-white and color, working with large-format and digital cameras.  Her compositions and iconographic images include both studio portraiture and site-specific photography.  GAO attempts to explore the psychological and cultural meanings beneath the surface of visual appearance and aesthetic arrangement. She focuses on details that give subliminal meaning to identity, creating imagery that transcends mere documentation.

A recent project, 12 Moons, references the 12-year cycle of the Chinese Zodiac and was inspired by the statues of the Madonna and Child, GAO saw in the Cathedral of Siena in Italy. The project began with a casting call in Beijing in 2007 for mothers with children.  The mothers, wives of low-wage construction site workers, came from distant villages all over China.  GAO combined digital photography in backgrounds with film in the foregrounds, all integrated by a scanning process.  Finally, she superimposed a digital "tattoo" of a Chinese Zodiac animal sign on each child. 

In 2004 GAO was the winner of the Soho Photo Gallery Competition (New York).  Her work has been exhibited in Aqua Art Miami, the Asian Contemporary Art Fair (New York), AIPAD (New York), the Palacio Consistorial de Cartagena (Spain), the Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art, and in major fine art galleries, including Throckmorton (New York) and Gao Brothers Gallery (Beijing). 

Most recently, her art has been collected by the Museu Calouste Gulbenkian in Lisbon, Portugal.  She was the only Asian among 135 leading female photographers worldwide identified in the book “Au Féminin: Women Photographing Women 1849–2009” published by Le Centre Culturel Calouste Gulbenkian in Paris.  The book has included many well-known photographers, including Julia Margaret Cameron, Ruth Bernhard, Diane Arbus and Cindy Sherman.

GAO’s artistry continues to draw recognition, winning an Honorable Mention in the Portrait category (people and figure) at the 2009 Worldwide Photography Gala Awards. 

GAO now works and lives in New York City and Beijing.
