Bridgette Mayer Gallery is pleased to announce its second solo exhibition with gallery artist Kaoru Mansour. Sweet Nature will be on view from Tuesday, March 29 to Saturday, April 30, 2022, with extended hours on Friday, April 1 from 5:00 to 7:30pm. The exhibition will feature 27 new paintings by Mansour, inspired by the plants and flowers kept by her family at her childhood home. Mansour describes the exhibition as follows:

I grew up in a small village in Japan.
Raised by two women who loved flowering plants.
My mother and grandmother planted all year so flowers were always present in our house during my childhood.
I didn’t truly appreciate that until I would go back to visit after moving to the city for many years.

Now, whenever I visit my family who still lives in that same small village,
I see there are still so many fresh flowers in vases around the house that my elderly mother tends to, and they make my heart full.
If my paintings bring that feeling, it would be so exciting!
My new solo show, Sweet Nature, is a reflection on how I experienced nature in everyday life growing up in a small village in rural Japan.
