Mahalo Kristen for the wonderful comments on my piece "passio".  This is perhaps the most well written critique I have had and again, Mahalo (Thank You) for your beautiful insight!

I am thrilled and grateful  to be having a solo show at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center May of 2014...just in case you have a desire to go to Maui this will be a very fun show with performers from the paintings!

Mahalo,

Thank you for your critique of my oil paintings. You were curious if the work "At the Gate" was on paper. It was not. All of my pieces are oil paintings on canvas.  Thanks again.

I am so pleased you like my painting 'Saving Clementine'. Your review was excellent and I appreciate you taking the time to write such an insightful piece. It is always exciting to know how people feel when they engage with the paintings, it gives the pieces new life and I am able to revisit the work through someone else's eyes. Thank you very much Kristen!

Kristen,

Thank-you for the very insightful critique of my painting "Woods Destruction for Development". You put into words what I wanted to convey with this painting through composition and the images as icons. I was happy to read your interpretation of this piece and I don't think anyone (including myself) has ever summed it up so well! I appreciate your taking the time to review it.

Thank you for your comments on my photography series, your commentary very eloquently addressed the visual elements that I wanted to present through my work.  The inspiration,  or rather subject matter, of that particular project was to highlight the current state of urbanization taking place in China.  The concept of a static grid represented by the scaffolding obscured by a fast moving object in the bus can be interpreted as double entendre in two ways: the scaffolding represents a temporary structure portraying a state of change and growth, while the bus moving through the streets represents the permanence of the daily lifestyle in urban China, are juxtapositions of their physical manifestations.  In the physical sense, the scaffolding will one day be gone, while the buses will continue to run the same routes every day with metronomic regularity.  But the other interpretation from a purely visual sense is the opposite; because of the constant construction taking place in China, the scaffolding is now a seemingly static and permanent fixture of the urban landscape, while the bus is constantly moving and changing its direction, orientation, and speed as it facilitates our personal individual pursuits of growth and change. These visual elements serve to both highlight and juxtapose the physical qualities of their place in the urban landscape.  In the end, the scaffolding and the bus are both permanent and fleeting, it depends on the viewer's perspective.

Thank you for the feedback, Kristen.

The art is natural, the marketing an effort.

I'll do what you suggest.

Also, keep me in mind if you see a show which my Zen Pearls brand would fit, okay?

With Love, Shunyo
