>>>> Next Meeting, Thursday, March 10, 2022 at 7PM.
The Worthington Area Art League is resuming in-person meetings beginning March 10, 2022! New venue:
Worthington Community Center – community room. 345 E. Wilson Bridge Rd.Worthington, OH 43085
Meeting is from 7 to 8:30 pm.
Andi President
Speaker: Hiroshi Hayakawa
He produces art in Fine Art photography, kinetic sculpture and papar crafts. They might seem at random and very different from each other in styles and concepts. However, they are just different ways of expressing myself and I feel there is an undercurrent that unites all those expressions: power of strong visuals and bold designs, love for hands-on crafts, and to some degree yearning for transformative experiences through art.
Hiroshi Hayakawa was born and raised in Japan. He earned a BA in French Literature from Keio University <www.keio.ac.jp/> in Tokyo. After a short stint working as a computer systems engineer, he decided his love of life was making art. He relocated to the United States in 1991, attended Columbus College of Art and Design <www.ccad.edu/> earning BFAs in Photography and Fine Arts, and then Cranbrook Academy of Art <www.cranbrook.edu/> for his MFA in Photography.
His primary artistic medium has been alternative photography especially liquid emulsion ever since he was an art school student. However, his artistic direction has changed recently. He now spends about the same amount of time on his kinetic sculpture work, photography work, drawing and paper craft book projects. He has published his first paper craft book, “Kirigami Menagerie” from Lark Books <www.larkcrafts.com/bookstore/> in 2009. His second paper craft book, “Paper Pups” came out in 2013. His third book, “Paper Birds” and fourth book, “Paper Monsters and Curious Creatures” were both published in 2014.
He currently lives in Columbus Ohio with his wife Nanette, 2 cats, a French bulldogs and a turtle. He teaches at Columbus College of Art and Design and exhibits his art nationally and internationally.
Best Regards,
Lisa
