Myths and Game

Tepper Takayama Fine Arts, Boston

In keeping with the spirit of the season Tepper Takayama Fine Arts’s summer exhibition is “Myths and Games” featuring works by Milton Montenegro, Daido Moriyama, Paolo Rosselli, Hiromi Tsuchida and others, Milton Montenegro’s “Nebulae” series comprises avant-garde, partially digital, partially human recreations of Greek Gods and demi-gods. Icarus is poised to take off in flight and Athena is interpreted as regal and imposing.

Daido Moriyama reflects his nation’s devotion to baseball in his characteristically irreverent and oblique manner, photographing a poster of a baseball game. Paolo Rosselli’s cool elegant work captures the awe-inspiring power of the Parthenon whose columns diminish its tourists and the breadth and sumptuousness of Sravana Belgola, an Indian Shrine which is a repository of multiple myths. Hiromi Tsuchida conveys the population density and cultural intensity of the Japanese at play in this “Marathon” image. The works of these artists as well as Yoshi Abe, Evandro Teixiera, Robert Welsh, Cassio Vasconcellos, and George S. Zimbel complete the exhibition which focuses on the enduring allure of myths and games in this summer of the Olympics and always.
