Green: It's so hot at the moment -- the color of spring, environmental conservation and Mountain Dew Slurpees (my favorite!). And, now, it's the newest exhibition at The Textile Museum. Read more about it -- and all the art happenings around the D.C. region -- inside this week's Arts Agenda.
Louise Bourgeois Retrospective @ Hirshhorn
As an artist looked on as a leading figure in 20th century art, Louise Bourgeois has enjoyed an incredible 70 year career. From her early influences of Surrealism to her Feminist works, Bourgeois uses memory and emotion to create thought provoking motifs and dramatic sculpture. At the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Bourgeois' lengthy and successful career is highlighted in a major retrospective of her work.
Etsuko Ichikawa @ Randall Scott Gallery
Ichikawa's work is consistent as each piece is an abstract pattern made from the glass on paper. The marks are brown and smokey and the color shifts ever so slightly depending on the pressure and intensity of the heat from the glass. Each piece captures the movement used in its making. Some have delicate strokes and others have harsh, hurried lines. It is beautiful and simplistic but the result isn't as captivating as the process.
