FEATURED EXHIBITS

MEN

Human beings have been at the center of creative expression since the very beginning of the history of art. Throughout this rich and complex history there has been much attention and scrutiny aimed at the female form. This exhibition consists of a selection of works from the Art in Public Places Collection that puts its focus solely on artistic depictions of men. Ideas of masculinity are presented in ways that are sometimes direct, sometimes fictitious, and sometimes symbolic. MEN brings to the forefront a variety of approaches that artists employ to capture, display and express the male form and psyche. View artworks in the exhibit in our online catalog: MEN.

Artists in the exhibit: Satoru Abe, Bumpei Akaji, Rick Allred, August Becker, Carol Bennett, Jean Charlot, Margaret Ezekiel, Francis Haar, Allen Hori, Robin Kaye, Kenneth Kerslake, Oldrich Kulhanek, Wayne Levin, Belinda Ling, Huc Mazelet Luquiens, Susan Martin Maffei, Melinda Morey, John Takami Morita, Ben Norris, Louis Pohl, Brian Sato, David B. Smith, James Surls, Dietrich Varez, Paul Weissman, Gwen Whitney, and Kaina Young.

HAWAI‚ÄòI: Change & Continuity includes 130 artworks from the Art in Public Places Collection of the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts, and tells a story of the past, examining the overlapping influences of nature's bounty and human impact on a fragile environment.

As you walk through the exhibit, you will see art that reflects on the forces of nature and man's intrusion. Relevant quotes are placed on walls to help the viewer understand the meaning.

"Hopefully the exhibition will express something of what this place is like. What Hawai‚Äòi is like," exhibit designer Tom Klobe said. "It is important for us who live here and people who are visiting to understand."

Second floor, Ewa Gallery. Through May 2019. View artworks in the exhibit in our online catalog: HAWAI‚ÄòI: Change & Continuity.

Ground floor exhibits in the shop and cafe are organized and supported by the Friends of the Hawaiªi State Art Museum (a volunteer non-profit group) and the HiSAM Gallery Museum Shop x MORI. Please visit their websites for information about their current exhibits and events.
