Winston Wächter Fine Art is pleased to announce the solo exhibition of painter Hiro Yokose and photographer Rena Bass Forman. Both solo exhibitions will open on Wednesday, November 9th; opening receptionswith each artist will be from 6-8 pm.

This current exhibition will be the third solo show with painter Hiro Yokose. Yokose, a Japanese-born artist currently residing in New York City, creates paintings presenting calm, meditative and ethereal images of nature. His paintings balance organic formless color against various natural forms.

Yokose's pieces are elegant landscapes that impart the viewer with a sense of contemplation and stillness. His technique involves a unique layering of beeswax and oil paint giving his work the incredibly rich sense of depth and texture. Yokose's painting style evokes a traditional Japanese painting aesthetic of delicate, lyrical greens, browns and blues. The new work is punctuated with warmer golden casts of light to elicit pure and tranquil moments of luminosity and space. Playing with the viewer's mind and perception Yokose's sensual works invite us to engage in a simultaneous experience of recognition and of mystery.

Our second solo exhibition with New York-based photographer Rena Bass Forman will feature selected works from three of her most recent series: Iceland, Patagonia and Niagara Falls.

Bass Forman is known for her visually stunning sepia-toned images of the natural landscape. Her process is quite intense, as she documents the changes of light, water, and climate, and their affects on the landscape. Bass Forman's large-format photographs, taken with a 2 1/4 camera, present dramatic images while also offering a profound meditation on light and the natural elements. Her photographs present a tranquility, which results from the pristine natural settings Bass Forman studies, as well as from the compositional balance between land and sky. This painterly quality of her work is similar to the 19th century American landscapists, and offers the viewer a sense of inner silence and meditative serenity.
