After so many years working with ink and washi in Japan Mr. Hathaway finds himself in a situation not unlike Frank Lloyd Wright designing the second Imperial Hotel - Foreigners looking at the hotel said, “So very Japanese.” Japanese said, “So very foreign.”
Mr. Hathaway studied oil painting and worked in the art business in New York before escaping to Japan and taking up the tools and materials of ink painting, using them to create a new world.
His exhibition, Naked Again, will show a dozen new works, ink on Japanese paper, landscapes for the most part.
If you find yourself in Tokyo at the end of October, please stop by!
Open this weekend and the first weekend of November.
