Amor Eterno Arte is proud to present Dreams Realized: The Undeniable Work of Irene Shiori, a solo exhibition by Bay Area born artist Irene Takahashi Coker. The exhibition will be Irene’s 3rd solo exhibition at Amor Eterno Arte. It has been an honor to bear witness to Irene’s artistic journey through each exhibition.
Irene’s artwork has been emboldened by the significant experiences and life altering transitions of the last 2 years. The struggles and victories with relationships, supporting community in the fights against racism and embracing self introspection, all have shaped Irene’s multidisciplinary art and her incredible spirit. Works include powerfully vulnerable Chicano iconography in ballpoint on paper, immersive color filled murals with spray can, delicate carved etchings on glass, sparkle and texture in lowrider enamel car paint, bold strokes and traditional processes in sign painting and glaze on pottery; Irene has touched each art medium with her deeply committed empathy, technical skill and culture.
The flowing strands of hair against a soft cheek and tear filled eyes. A cartoon payasito always by your side, through the good and bad times. The chains of fear are broken and the roses are supple and velvety. The fanciest peacock struts thru the streets while praying hands rise to the clouds of a dream. Monarchs and stars dance in the sky over the warm glow of marigolds and candles. The strength and feminine spirit in the women Irene draws and paints are venerated by being front and center. Creating and thriving as a woman artist in a cis male dominated tattoo and art culture while uplifting those around her is what makes Irene Shirori’s art undeniable.
Please join us Sat June 15th from 2pm - 7pm in the gallery at Amor Eterno Arte for the opening. Irene Shiori will be in attendance. Please come support and wish her a happy birthday!
