New Works by Aya Kakeda & Miha Tanaka
July 3rd through 31st, 2009
Aya Kakeda:
Aya presents her third appearance at Metropolis, eschewing her popular silkscreens for a rare all-new collection of original paintings. Embracing a love of children's illustration and a deft knowledge of the fables from her native Japan, Aya's work tells a story of mysterious mutated creatures and clever little kids.
Miha Tanaka:
Longtime friend and collaborator with Aya Kakeda, Miha is a Brooklyn based fine artist and graphic designer. Her original work has appeared in galleries throughout the US and Europe, and has been featured in major group shows alongside Shepard Fairey, Jeremy Fish, Kidrobot designer Tristan Eaton, and Ron English. Miha shares an affinity with Aya for childlike depictions of creatures and fantasy nature scenes, though her work has a bright pastel color palette all its own.
