TRANSFORMATIVE ENERGIES Two-Dimensional Works by Yoshio Ikezaki, Miya Ando, and Joseph Akerman Curated by Hollis Goodall March 22 – May 18, 2025 Kylin Gallery is thrilled to announce its first curated exhibition of 2025. “Transformative Energies: Two-Dimensional Works by Yoshio Ikezaki, Miya Ando, and Joseph Akerman” features three artists and their respective approaches to depicting universal vital energy (Japanese: ki; Chinese: qi), with a Buddhist reverence for the transitory qualities of all things. These three artists sincerely appreciate one another’s works and share a fascination with ki energy and the ephemerality and transitoriness that it enforces in the universe.

My MIT Press book will be available October 2025! "Water of the Sky A Dictionary of 2,000 Japanese Rain Words" Please visit The MIT Press website (link in bio) for further information: A breathtakingly elegant visual dictionary of 2000 Japanese words for rain, with 100 drawings in indigo. In Water of the Sky, artist Miya Ando offers us a beautifully rich, bilingual, visual dictionary for rain. Through a collection of 2000 Japanese words, their English interpretations, and 100 drawings, Ando describes the breadth and diversity of rain’s many expressions: when it falls, how it falls, and how its observer might be transformed physically or emotionally by its presence. The words range from the prosaic to esoteric, extending from the meteorological (mukaame, or “very fine rain that falls in spring”) to the mystical (bunryūu, or “rain that splits a dragon's body in half”) and from the minute (kisame, or “raindrops that fall off the leaves and branches of trees”) to the vast (takuu, or “blessed rain that quenches all things in the universe”).Ando’s visual interpretations of these terms are not so much illustrations as evocations, attempts to embody or imagine each rain’s precise and essential quality. The book presents 100 of these 2000 drawings of rain accompanied by the full index of 2000 Japanese words and their approximate English equivalents, presented alphabetically using a hybrid Japanese-English alphabetization rubric. 208 pp

Moon Ensō (Engessō 円月相) 2024 29 printed silk chiffon panels This installation consists of 29 panels of printed silk chiffon, representing a complete lunar cycle of 29 days, and depicts all phases of the moon beginning and ending with the new moon. The imagery is derived from Ando's Moon Almanac, a series of 1345 small, natural indigo dye on washi paper drawings of the moon, created daily over 2.5 years of the Covid pandemic in New York City. Ensō (円相), meaning “circular form" in Japanese, is traditionally rendered in one calligraphic brush stroke and represents the universe, elegance, strength and the Zen principle of no-mind. Ensō is also a symbol of the concepts of absolute enlightenment, the void, liberation and emptiness (Mu) expressed as the moon. The Japanese word Engesso means ‘moon circle’. @art.sg @ubsglobalart @sundaramtagore #miyaando

Rest in peace to the beautiful and inimitable David Lynch🙏. I had the distinct privilege of working with the David Lynch Foundation years ago, he said he "likes fire and meditation" and asked me to speak about my work❤️
