Heather Ujiie: Solo Exhibition: Fairytales, Monsters and Hybrid Creatures
http://hunterdonartmuseum.org/portfolio-items/heather-ujiie-fairytales-monsters-hybrid-creatures Sept. 25 -- Jan. 8, 2017
Heather Ujiie’s art abounds with colorful mythical creatures and monsters spinning allegorical stories and fairytales. Ujiie’s large-scale digital prints present a unique blending of the classical and contemporary. Her solo exhibition, titled Heather Ujiie: Fairytales, Monsters and Hybrid Creatures, runs until Jan. 8, 2017. “Many of the pieces in this exhibition were inspired from a kind of ‘data’ mashing of both western and eastern world history and religion,” Ujiie said. “This past year, I have been fascinated by the northern Renaissance Christian painting by Hieronymus Bosch’s: The Garden of Earthly Delights, as well as Persian and Indian miniature paintings, some of which depict polymorphic gods and demons.” Ujiie’s textile work is a synthesis of several processes, including hand painting, drawing, stitching, and printing with innovative large-format digital printing. “I love the visceral quality of paint and material investigations, but I also love technology,” she said. “Digital printing, laser cutting and smart textiles are all tools that interest me in creating more innovative work.”
Duality: Delaware Art Museum
May 14, 2016 - August 14, 2016http://www.delart.org/exhibits/duality/
This community-curated Outlooks exhibition explores collaborative life-work partnerships. Heather Moqtaderi, Philadelphia-based curator and teacher, developed the concept for the exhibition and invited four artist couples—Gina Triplett and Matt Curtius, Shoko Teruyama and Matt Kelleher, Heather and Hitoshi Ujiie, and Trefny Dix and Bengt Hokanson—to create new works for Duality. Their paintings, ceramics, glass, and textiles reveal dual, and often complementary, artistic viewpoints and technical skills.
