Broward College Visual & Performing Arts is hosting the opening reception of 諸行無常 _ this too, shall pass featuring the work of Mayuko Ono Gray, an accomplished graphite artist based in Houston, Texas. The opening reception is August 31 from 4 - 7 p.m. and will feature an artist lecture at 5 p.m. This event is free and open to the public. The exhibition will be on view through September 20 in the Rosemary Duffy Larson Gallery, located on the Central Campus of Broward College in building 6 (3501 SW Davie Road, 33314). Born in Gifu, Japan, Ono Gray was trained in traditional Japanese calligraphy in her youth and later studied classical Western drawing before receiving her MFA in painting from the University of Houston. Her powerful, large graphite drawings include people, animals, and still-life intertwined with hiragana and kanji characters that spell out Japanese proverbs associated with the images. This calligraphic writing is a continuous line that moves through the work as a metaphor for life and the passage of time. She also expresses this interest in the journey from birth to death by creating one self-portrait a year to document the changes in her own life.
