The Body Illustrated: Woodblock Prints, Paintings & Drawings by Paul Binnie

http://www.scholten-japanese-art.com/index.php

Scholten Japanese Art is pleased to participate in Contemporary Art Week 2017 with THE BODY ILLUSTRATED: WOODBLOCK PRINTS, PAINTINGS & DRAWINGS BY PAUL BINNIE, an exhibition inspired by the completion of Paul Binnie's (b. 1962) beloved series A Hundred Shades of Ink of Edo (Edo Zumi hyaku shoku) with a comprehensive exploration of the artist's nude and tattoo subjects in a variety of media.

This is Scholten's third exhibition dedicated to Binnie's work, and the first in nearly seven years. Following the first two exhibitions, Echoes of Japan: The Woodblock Prints of Paul Binnie in the autumn of 2008 and Paul Binnie: Paintings to Prints and Back Again in the autumn of 2010, which together displayed Binnie's paintings, prints, and print production materials, this show features the recently completed A Hundred Shades of Ink of Edo print series complemented by related nude and tattoo imagery. 

The woodblock print series A Hundred Shades of Ink of Edo playfully references timeless imagery from classic ukiyo-e and inventively placed them on modern nude subjects.

The exhibition will be open from 11am - 6pm, May 2 - 10 (no appointment needed)

Along with our regular open hours we will be hosting the following special events (RSVP's requred for some of these):

Friday, May 5th, 6 – 8 pm: Open House Gallery Night with Binnie
Saturday, May 6th, 3 pm: Printing by Binnie (space limited, rsvp needed)
Sunday, May 7th, 3 pm: Chatting with Binnie (space limited, rsvp needed)
Friday, July 14th 6 – 8 pm: Mid-Summer Gallery Night
