Joyce Rudolph, Weekend
BURBANK -- Kunimi Terada is an artist who paints what she sees and
feels with color and shape.
"The act of looking has always filled me with profound pleasure," she
said. "I am constantly surprised by what I see -- a landscape, human
body, shapes in the Earth under my feet, piles of autumn leaves, the wind
pushing clouds away from my window frame.
"When I create, the subtleties of color become vividly transformed
when they begin to interact -- what a joyful experience!"
Terada's work is on display at the Aries Gallery. Her work is
displayed along with gallery owner Fred Wolf and Peggy Nichols.
Wolf's art emphasizes compositional challenges in figurative
situations.
Nichols, who paints still life paintings in pastels, gains inspiration
from Cezanne, Mary Cassatt and Degas.
Continuing through May 8, the exhibit is by appointment only. The
gallery is at 4222 W. Burbank Blvd. For more information or reservations,
call 846-0611.
