Rin Nadeshico, "Octopus and Squid"

Froelick presents Gwashi!, a manga exhibit featuring prints by Kazuo Umezz, Kazama Namiki, and Rin Nadeshico. "Manga comics, recognizable for their uniform style elements (large eyes, emotive floating hearts, rainclouds and other icons), enjoy a readership that spans the whole of Japanese society and extends worldwide. Its appeal as a tool of mass entertainment, communication and education has made it a unique pop culture force. In addition to its sequential form, manga also has a life beyond the printed page. The work represented in Gwashi! utilizes fine art printmaking techniques such as woodcut, silkscreen and mezzotint to render the fantastical characters and situations - from supernatural to erotic to whimsical - endemic to manga."

Opening reception • 6-9pm • December 2
Froelick Gallery • 714 NW Davis • 503.222.1142
