Three Treasure Coast artists with distinctly different approaches to painting come together this fall in Three Voices in Contemporary Art: — Between Image and Idea, opening November 5 at the MIDFLORIDA Event Center Art Gallery in Port St. Lucie.
Featuring the work of José Farinos, Linda Reymore, and Mickey Rudolph, the exhibition moves from figurative imagery to geometric abstraction to contemporary and modern impressionism. Rather than organizing the exhibition around a shared style, Between Image and Idea places three independent visual languages in conversation with one another.
What connects them is the act of looking. Across the exhibition, color, form, space, surface, and structure operate in very different ways, inviting viewers to move between works and consider what is immediately recognizable, what reveals itself gradually, and what remains open to interpretation.

This exhibition presents works by the two great 19th-century Masters of the “Floating World”, Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) and Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858), alongside modern prints by Kawase Hasui (1883-1957), a key member of the shin hanga (“new prints”) movement. Hasui developed new subjects and themes in woodblock color print through the mid-1950s, when he was named a “Living national treasure” in 1956. Through a selection of extraordinary woodblock color prints by these three masters, Katsushika Hokusai, Utagawa Hiroshige, and Kawase Hasui, the exhibition will take visitors on a journey through the most evocative places in Japan, both real and imaginary. It will illustrate the art of a country that underwent a huge transformation because of the influence of the West between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The Floating World of Katsushika Hokusai and Utagawa Hiroshige unfolds, along with its transformation under the tastes of a society that increasingly aspired to European canons, a change to which Kawase Hasui bears witness.
