Mutant Mountain / Quantum Ocean

bG Gallery is thrilled to present Mutant Mountain / Quantum Ocean, a dialogue between new bodies of artwork by artists Mike Saijo and Jim Holyoak. Their work explores the dynamics of change, its constancy and its inevitability, within our physical and psychological environments.
When viewed within a longer field of time, a mountain, steady and sturdy to the human eye, is actually in a state of constant flux, transforming like a cloud in the sky or a wave on the ocean. Such is the focus of Saijo and Holyoak’s newest series of works: Holyoak with his drawings of morphing landforms and animals, inspired by, and often created during treks in the mountains, and Saijo with photo-based images from time spent in California’s waves, as well as examinations of quantum science, coupled with the influence of Hawaiian ocean cosmology.
This exhibit will occur both in person as a physical installation, and as an online gallery. Small numbers of local guests may visit at a safe social distance, while guests from around the world are invited to view the exhibit virtually and can request in-person virtual tours from gallery staff. Online events with the artists will take place throughout the duration of the exhibition.

Exhibit runs in-person from January 13 – February 13, 2021. Online from January 13 – April 13, 2021.
