Parallel: Works by Shingo Honda will be on display at the East Hawaiʻi Cultural Center from Aug 7, 2021 thru September 14, 2021.   Honda was loosely affiliated with the Mono-Ha art group that came out of Tama Art University in Japan. He came to the Big Island in 2005. According to author and art critic Amaury Saint-Gilles, “Shingo was really on his own quest from the very start. Looking for inspiration, Shingo sought to use his unique style to contemporize the spatial components of more traditional Japanese art going back centuries, the very work art historians are most familiar with.”  A striking feature of Honda’s work is his exploration of white space

The East Hawaiʻi Cultural Center is located at 141 Kalakaua Street in Hilo and is open from 10am to 4pm Tuesday through Friday and 10am to 2pm on Saturdays.  For more information visit ehcc.org or call 961-5711.
