Natasha Shoro’s Solo Exhibition Opens in Irvine

Natasha Shoro has been determinedly been trying to tap into the difficult-to-penetrate art scene of Orange County. Her hard work has borne fruit. With several exhibitions already to her name, first at Merrian Meyers in Laguna Beach and then at Bistango Art Gallery, she finally got her own showing in her hometown, Irvine. Her exhibition opened on Sunday March 6, 2005 and will run for two weeks at the reputable Irvine Fine Arts Center.
Her works represents inner spaces and an underlying influence of music, color, patterns as primary inspiration can be observed. When asked what she thinks her work expresses, she elucidates: “My work expresses an ebb and flow between my inner and outer spaces in relation to an overlapping, entwined identity, blending two diverse cultures.”
Her inner spaces represent her feelings, mental images of music, color, patterns, and symbols that are almost within her subconscious state. Her outer spaces come forth in architectural elements, three-dimensional spaces, layers, screens, sometimes allowing light and other times just sound and vibration through texture or fine lines.
“All this is an expression of my life experience,” says Natasha.
Natasha’s exhibition will take you on a journey of discovery, one which she went on. Her eastern influence suggests disorder, confusion and chaos within formal boundaries and hard edges. There is a sense of underlying logic in the eastern confusion. Her western side is more formal, logical and fluid. The boundaries of the eastern and western culture meet and overlap in her clean and open expression.
The exhibition will be on view from March 6-April 9, 2005 at the Irvine Fine Arts Center,Yale Avenue, Irvine.
