Venture Gallery presents the work of painter Edi Matsumoto and potter Sachiko Yokota, our featured artists for February. Their show, entitled Japonica, explores Japanese aesthetics. You are cordially invited to stop by the gallery and meet the artists on Tuesday, February 8, 2pm-6pm.

Edi Matsumoto's art explores Japanese aesthetics and celebrates "wabi-sabi," the beauty of the transient, imperfect, and impermanent nature of life. The stars of the exhibit are self portraits that reflect various aspects of Japanese traditions.

Sachiko Yokota specializes in creating usable containers to enhance daily life, including ikebana containers, vases, and Japanese style fountains. Her work is prized by collectors as well as other potters inspired by her unique techniques and glazes.

Venture Gallery is now open daily, 10am-6pm. Edi Matsumoto and Sachiko Yokota's artwork will be featured through February 2022. Venture Gallery is located at 260 Alvarado Street in Downtown Old Monterey. Visit our website to shop online for work by our local artists.
