Studio Intent boutique + gallery: Anamoto by Katrina Olson-Mottahed, Opening Reception with the artist Thursday, October 6, 6–8 pm
Show runs from October 6 through November November 26.
Katrina Olson-Mottahed’s show, Anatomoto, invites the viewer to not only enjoy the fluid landscapes of the physical form, but also the delicate side of Japanese culture. The tones present in the pieces within the show are, for the most part, softly monochromatic, with bright jolts of black or colour to keep the eye engaged. The figures are compelling, the ideas meaningful, but serene. The name of this show merges two words to make a new one (anatomy + motivation = anatomoto) and it fuses form, colour and beauty from which something entirely different has emerged.
