Sagawa Art Museum Special Exhibition
Brian Williams “The Birth of Parabolic Painting”
	The Sagawa Art Museum, in Moriyama, Shiga Prefecture, and not far from Kyoto, will host a spectacular exhibition of Brian Williams’ Parabolic Paintings. 51 works will be on display, including 6 giant paintings from the Kiyomizu Temple exhibition held on May 14th 2011. The largest is a 6.8 meter long grand panoramic view of Mount Everest. Also on display is the “Chauvet Fantasie”, created especially for this exhibition. It is a large panel suggesting the walls of Chauvet Cave, with interpretations of the cave paintings there. At over 31,000 years of age, these are the oldest known paintings on earth, and Brian Williams wanted to highlight the fact that these very first paintings were not flat, but effectively exploited the irregular curved surfaces of the cave wall. The artist will give interpretive “Walk and Talk” presentations from 1 pm (in Japanese) on Feb. 18 and 19, March 3 and 18, and on April 8.
