ART UNITES THE WORLD
JUNE 14th – JULY 28th
Opening Saturday June 22 6-8pm

Mixed media paintings created by Japanese artists with disabilities from the Japanese school art-HRM inc are on exhibition in the Westbeth Artists Sculpture Gallery and Annex.

Guest Curator and producer of this exhibition: Hugues R. Mathieu, a well known artist in Japan, graduated from The Fashion Institute of Technology and received his MFA in painting from The New York Academy of Art in Manhattan.

Born in Brooklyn New York, Hugues has lived in Japan for over a decade. He is the president of www.art-HRM.com located in Ashiya, the Hyogo Prefecture of Japan. He is known for creating a confluence of traditional Ukiyoe art with contemporary lifestyle, called Symbiosis. He is also known for his unique academic intricate pencil rendering and abstract textures that blossom into high renaissance realism.
His works of art were recently exhibited at the Ashiya City Museum of Art and History recently for 3 months.

It is a little known fact that extraordinary talents can be revealed and expressed in art on the highest level of artistic communication from Down syndrome, severe intellectual disability, and Autism patients. Artist Hugues Mathieu, as a sensitive and dedicated artist – has been able to communicate with the students and gain their trust. Through unique communication they have produced stunning abstract works that move the viewer to a subconscious world of multi color techniques that move the heart.

The consistently strong quality of each work function at the highest level of abstraction, composition, color balance, whimsy, motion, rhythm and originality: all aspects which these students appear to be enjoying while making the art that communicates!

Congratulations Mr. Hugues R Mathieu for sharing these exceptional works of art created from the heart with us in New York
