ArtXchange Gallery is proud to present 32 Aspects of Daily Life, a new series of mixed-media, paper cut-away portraits by Lauren Iida. In this exhibition, Iida pays homage to a series of the same name, created in the 1880s by Japanese woodblock artist, Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892). Utilizing watercolor and ink, alongside her distinct paper cut-away technique, Iida depicts female-identifying people that she has connected with during her daily life.
ArtXchange Gallery presents, Contemporary Cambodia, a group exhibition featuring emerging Khmer artists from Cambodia, showing concurrently with Lauren Iida’s solo exhibition, 32 Aspects of Daily Life. Including painting, woodblock printing, photography, and more, this curated selection showcases the diversity of Cambodia’s contemporary art scene.
Selections from “100 Aspects of the Moon” by Lauren Iida are currently featured in the North Gallery. Each of these intricate hand-cut works references the moon in some way, symbolizing the common thread of humanity through time, distance, and culture. If you’ve ever wanted an affordable, small-scale piece by Lauren Iida, this is the series for you! On view through November 30th.
