Nadine Ferraro's "Untitled (red)," a 2005 work of oil and wax medium on canvas.
Seven II
A group of women painters -- Nadine Ferraro, Kloe Kang, Karen Lee, Birgitta Leitner, Katherine Love, Mary Mitsuda and Yida Wang -- who call themselves "Seven," are showing their work on the walls of The Contemporary Museum's Contemporary Cafˇ in a show called "Seven: II."Each woman was encouraged to create two pieces for the exhibit, and to explore the theme of duality. The results are engaging and thought-provoking. Ferraro's works lure the senses with their vibrancy, while Love's pieces resonate deeply with strength and femininity. Wang's mixed-media series of oils and CD cases stops viewers in their tracks.
"Seven: II" runs through April 24 at The Contemporary Cafˇ, located in The Contemporary Museum at Makiki Heights, 2411 Makiki Heights Drive. The museum is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays to Saturdays and noon to 4 p.m. Sundays. Museum admission is $5 adults, $3 seniors and students, and free to children 12 and under. The museum is free to the public on the third Thursday of each month.
Cafˇ hours are 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Tuesdays to Saturdays and noon to 2:30 p.m. Sundays. Museum admission is free to patrons of the cafˇ; call ahead for reservations at 526-1322.
