Saint Laurent Rive Droite Los Angeles presents Mono no aware, an exhibition by Miya Ando, a Japanese and American artist based in New York, featuring a selection of her paintings, wood sculptures, and silkscreen prints curated by Anthony Vaccarello to May 28th, 2025.
Miya Ando's art explores the dialectic coexistence of Eastern and Western cultures through natural phenomena. She uses various materials, such as steel, wood, glass, and washi paper, to depict the cycles? of life and the passage of time. Her works incorporate chemical transformations, often with fire and silver nitrate, creating objects and installations that reflect the ephemeral nature of seasons, the moon, clouds, and stars. Ando often works with redwood, which she carbonizes using the traditional Japanese shou-sugi-ban technique, or applies layers of silver nitrate, an element that freezes time.
Her art is grounded in the Japanese philosophical concept of Mono no aware, which can be loosely translated as an appreciation of transitory or ephemeral things. It evokes a duality between permanence and impermanence, the natural and the artificial, inviting reflection on the passage of time and the fragility of life.
