Richmond Art Center Sumi-e Exhibition

Richmond Art Center presents 

The Art of Sumi-e 


A student showcase of Japanese ink brush paintings from Fumiyo Yoshikawa's beginner sumi-e class at Richmond Art Center. Sumi-e is a traditional East Asian painting technique that uses black ink (sumi) on paper. Originating in China and later flourishing in Japan, sumi-e emphasizes simplicity, fluidity, and the potential of expressive brushstrokes to capture the essence or spirit of a subject. The students in sensei Yoshikawa's class also explored the connections between this traditional art form and concepts of Zen and Wabi Sabi. Through regular practice, the students learned to cultivate both their artistic prowess and inner tranquility, with each stroke honing their skills while also unveiling a path to daily serenity.

Location: Community Gallery of Richmond Art Center
Exhibition Dates: Wednesday, September 4, 2024 - Thursday, November 21, 2024
Opening Reception: Saturday, September 07, 2024, 1pm-3pm
