Repost from @maki_gallery_tokyo • ミヤ・アンドウ個展「Mono no aware」Saint Laurent Rive Droite Los Angelesにて開催中 Miya Ando Solo Exhibition “Mono no aware” currently on view at Saint Laurent Rive Droite Los Angeles [English below↓] ミヤ・アンドウによる個展「Mono no aware」が、現在ロサンゼルスのSaint Laurent Rive Droiteにて開催中です。アンソニー・ヴァカレロによってキュレーションされた本展は、アンドウの代表的な「雲」シリーズをはじめ、シルクスクリーンを使った紙作品、「焼杉板」と題した彫刻作品群、そして京都・龍安寺の枯山水庭園に着想を得たインスタレーション作品で構成されています。儚いものや移ろいゆくものへの感受性や哀愁を示唆する、日本の美学および哲学的な概念である「もののあはれ」を主題に据えるアンドウの作品は、永続と無常、自然と人工といった二元性を喚起しつつ、時の流れや命の儚さについて思索を促します。 本展に伴い、アンドウの作品とサンローランのロゴをあしらったコラボレーショントートバッグが、Rive Droiteオンラインストアにて予約受付中です。あわせてご注目ください。 — 開催概要 ― 会期：2025年4月8日 (火) ～ 5月13日 (火) 会場：Saint Laurent Rive Droite Los Angeles 469 N Rodeo Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, United States ______________ “Mono no aware,” a solo show by Miya Ando, is currently on view at Saint Laurent Rive Droite Los Angeles. Curated by Anthony Vaccarello, the exhibition features a selection of the artist’s signature Cloud paintings, silkscreen works on paper, Shou Sugi Ban wood sculptures, and an installation inspired by the dry Zen garden of Ryōanji Temple in Kyoto. “Mono no aware” is a Japanese aesthetic and philosophical concept that can be loosely translated as an appreciation of transitory or ephemeral things. Ando draws on this idea to develop a body of work that evokes duality between permanence and impermanence, the natural and the artificial, inviting reflection on the passage of time and the fragility of life. In tandem with the exhibition, a collaborative tote bag featuring Ando’s artwork and adorned with the Saint Laurent signature is available for pre-order on the Rive Droite online store. — Exhibition Details — Dates: April 8 (Tues.) – May 13 (Tues.), 2025 Venue: Saint Laurent Rive Droite Los Angeles 469 N Rodeo Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, United States Photo 1: Adrian Toynton (@adriantoynton) Photos 3 & 4: Lorraine Young (@lorraineyoungphoto) @studiomiyaando #MiyaAndo #ミヤアンドウ #ysl #saintlaurent #saintlaurentrivedroite #MAKIGallery #contemporaryart #現代アート #コンテンポラリーアート @ysl @saintlaurentbabylone

Mono no aware is a Japanese aesthetic and philosophical concept that recognizes the beauty in particularly transitory things; often illustrated with natural phenomena. Curated by Anthony Vaccarello, Miya Ando’s solo exhibition at Saint Laurent Rive Droite, Los Angeles investigates this idea in her new installation of sculptures, painting and silkscreens. On view is a recreation of the karesansui (dry Zen garden) of Ryōanji Temple in Kyoto. Ando’s version of this historically significant garden consists of 15 shou sugi ban (charred wood) cubes, coated with silver nitrate. Exhibition on view through May 12 2025, 469 N Rodeo Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210.@ysl @saintlaurentbabylone photos: @adriantoynton #saintlaurent #miyaando #ysl #saintlaurentrivedroite more info: www.ysl.com

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❤️
