Coming Soon — Bryce Kanbara: Grace
Main Gallery | July 8 - August 20
Curated by Lesley Loksi Chan

Grace, a solo exhibition featuring the work of painter, printmaker and sculptor Bryce Kanbara features wall relief sculptures, a practice the artist began in the 1980s and continues to this day. Named after the first drywall sculpture Kanbara made in this ongoing series, Grace brings together selected works that speak to how daily life entwines with intergenerational knowledge and cultural histories.

Comprised of offcuts and found objects, Kanbara’s assemblages combine jutting drywall, ragged masonite and splintered wood with useless useless items such as empty cookie packaging, a CD shard, a single takeout chopstick or a hairless paintbrush, all cobbled together with screws, nails, and glue. Seen together, these sculptures are a complex archive that vacillates between the personal and the collective. Touching upon layers of art, memory, and the everyday experiences of nikkei (immigrants and descendants of Japan) Kanbara’s work refuses precision and the foregrounding of any single element in particular.
