\nPerformance 7pm-7:30pm (Door open 6:30pm)
\nDjembe: Umeda Hirotoshi,
\nSinger: Mayu Toyama
\nAdmission: Free<\/p>\n
CRS patrons will recall Ms. Nishimura’s 2012 exhibition at CRS of colorful abstract paintings inspired by the sea. Her newest paintings continue her method of finishing her canvases in one session but now she paints with her bare hands, resulting in more dynamically complex and energetic compositions. Ms. Meyer, by contrast, has painted the works in this show while holding her brush with her feet. Each strives to use her entire body in the painting process and arrive at an organic and intuitive representation of her feeling in the moment.<\/p>\n
ABOUT ROBIN ANN MEYER
\nRobin grew up in Rochester, NY. She demonstrated interest\/ability in visual arts from a young age. She left her hometown and her native country to further her arts education, receiving both a BA and MFA from highly respected European institutions. Currently, she works as a textile artist and painter in NYC. The patenting technique she has developed requires complete concentration and acceptance. She finds constant depth and growth inside her self-imposed boundaries, which make her feel all the more connected to the work.

ABOUT RIE NISHIMURA
\nRie was born in Tokyo, graduated from the Department of Spatial Design, Musashino Art University. She had worked as an art director and a graphic designer in Tokyo, then relocated in New York in 2008 to diversify her expression in design and art fields. In 2010, she started a performance art, which is the combination of dancing and painting to capture her feelings in the moment. She creates a unique atmosphere, allowing her to share time, space, and experience with others. For Rie, art-making is an inevitable process to welcome, feel, and express the new flow\u00a0of emotions.
