THINKING IN COLOR: THE ART OF ROBERT MACE On Display April 1- 30, 2022
This exhibition is a solo show by Hawaii artist Robert Mace, who works with big, bold colors in a variety of media.

Artist’s Statement:

“My art practice can best be described as “my kid could do that.” I mean, really, up until about 13 years ago I was one of those fearful adults who always presumed I had no artistic talent. Then, one day, I picked up some colored pencils and did a very silly drawing. Well, that just affirmed the fact that I had no artistic talent. But I enjoyed it. So, putting my fear aside, I kept at it. What you see in this show, talent or no talent, is the result of putting my doubts and fears aside and just indulging in a practice I can’t seem to do without.

I work in painting, sculpture, collage, installation or any other art practice that interests and excites me currently. The results aren’t always good. In fact, they’re sometimes outright embarrassing, But hey, it’s all part of the discovery process. So I keep creating.

I wish I had been making art since childhood. Who knows what I would been creating today? It’s too late for me, but it’s not too late for your kids. During this month, in this same performance room, artists Fae Yamaguchi and

Lauren Okano will be teaching art classes for young artists, from kindergarten through fifth grade. Wouldn’t it be nice to say instead of “my kid could do that” – “My kid did that”?”

Enjoy the exhibit,
Robert Mace
