Yumiko Kayukawa in front of “Madness” at Shooting Gallery

Yumiko Kayukawa opened her eighth solo show with Shooting Gallery this past Saturday evening and Madness was met with great enthusiasm from the artist’s fans and supporters. Intertwining themes of femininity and nature, Kayukawa’s acrylic and ink on canvas works reflect her distinctive Japanese folklore and American pop-culture blend. Similarly, Aaron Nagel opened his third solo show with the gallery in the adjoining Project Space with Bastion. His portrait studies and large oil on panel works of luminous women caught the eye of many gallery goers. Derek Macario of SF Station was on hand and captured shots of the artists and works.
