Closing of Art Show

In the past I have exhibited art with the curators of MicroClimate and have a lot of respect for their hard work and commitment. So tonight, I attended their closing of the artshow entitled "Wabi Sabi". Not only was the space really amazing, but there were many pieces that I loved. I completely fell in love with the oil paintings by Kim Kei.

Wabi Sabi

Wabi Sabi is a Japanese school of aesthetics inspired by Taoist and Buddhist philosophies that embraces the timeworn, the weathered, and the accidental. Asymmetry, irregularity, economy, and intimacy are key aspects; beauty waits to be discovered in the unpredictable and evolving nature of materials and form.

Here are the highlights for me.
