The Veil: The Void

Showing May 16th – June 2nd, 2019

Sacred Geometry is a worldview of pattern recognition

“ The geometry is constructed by combining simple geometric forms in a complex manner to form a simple shape or design. The utilization of Sacred Geometry by our ancestors has been dated to pre-recorded history and can be found in nearly, if not all of our “first” civilizations. While my work has veered slightly from “true” sacred geometry, i.e., only building on pre-existing shapes, the underlying principles remain. The work I have been producing is more of a meditation on the inner workings of all things “natural” whether that be the geometry of organic growth, molecular bonds, the approximal omega of particle collisions, harmonics, cymatics, or segments of the potential grande structure of all.

Geometry has the ability to pierce the veil of human reality.  Behind that, we have the underlying structure of the universe, which to us, is the void. “ – Chris Zidek

DAWN by Mika Saito

This series explores the concept of daybreak from various perspectives simultaneously. At once nostalgic and lost in time, each painting evokes both the solitude and the ubiquity of the dawn as it contrasts the architectural structure of memory with the hazy ambience of dreams. Beyond it’s philosophical significance as a renewal or commencement, this series envisions the dawn as a static, self contained environment, disconnected from time and saturated with limitless possibilities.

MIKA SAITO is a graphic designer and visual artist who lives and works in New York City. She was born in Unzen Nagasaki Pref., Japan and retains the open natural serenity of that rustic coastal city. As a graphic designer, she has worked for such companies as Shiseido, Tatcha and L’Oréal among others.

This series represents Mika’s first exploration of graphic visual communication outside of the brand context. The use of color, shape and layout is intended to be of equal significance as the content and the feeling imparted to the viewer is of equal significance as the message.

She has a great love of printmaking, typography, animation and illustration. Her years of professional experience as a graphic designer have provided her with a passion for the use of art as communication and communal exploration of ideas.
