Presents
Ryoko Kaneta
In Our Nature
Downtown Los Angeles’ Corey Helford Gallery (CHG) is proud to announce their next major solo show In Our Nature, featuring new works from Japanese artist Ryoko Kaneta and set to premiere June 25th in Gallery 3.
One of the leading figures of Japan’s up-and-coming generation of artists, Kaneta will be making her U.S. solo debut with her upcoming show at CHG, which features 14 new works. The Tokyo-based artist paints according to ancient Japanese philosophies, including the thought that God dwells in all beings. Her descriptive paintings are embedded in historic cultures yet exist as fleeting spectacles of nature. The artist applies acrylic paint to canvas and masterfully blends to create an image that actively develops and moves with cyclicality. Her artworks suggest a passing of time and celebrate nature’s ephemerality.

SUPERVISOR HILDA L. SOLIS AUTHORS MOTION TO PROCLAIM
"ARTS AND HEALTH WEEK"
IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY
Weeklong Celebration Includes Offsite Events Throughout LA County,
Featuring June 15 Arts and Health Summit
from LA Opera and Department of Arts and Culture
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors has proclaimed "Arts and Health Week" in Los Angeles County, from June 13 through June 18, 2022. The Board’s motion states: "From arts education for young people to arts programming for older adults, the arts have been proven to make individual lives better and strengthen communities. They improve health and well-being, and they improve cognitive skills. There is growing research and proven connections demonstrating that arts can make a positive impact on health across mental health, physical health, and public health, for all communities." The motion further recognizes LA County’s work at the intersection of arts and health, including LA Opera, and the County’s Departments of Arts and Culture, Mental Health, Public Health, and Health Services, and other partners.
