About the Exhibition
Known as the “Rainbow Artist”, Ay-O is an internationally acclaimed artist whose works have been exhibited around the world. On May 19, 2019, we will be holding an exhibition to celebrate his 88th birthday. The exhibition will be following the trajectory of his incredible career, focusing on the paintings and prints from his famous “Rainbow Series”, along with some valuable works he created in the United States in the 1960s during the Fluxus era, an avant-garde art movement which he participated in, and his Environmental (Environmental Art) works. Furthermore, we will also be introducing one of his latest ventures, the “Dinosaur Series”, which he has been working on in recent years.
