KUZU Salon
for the past ten years i have rented warehouse space or worked originally from my carport/garage and utilized my art site joseishe.com. ”theasianwelder” site now houses my works from Josei and in 2008 i was fortunate enough to purchase a brand new warehouse with a space in front that accommodates a gallery. KUZU Salon was born! the idea was to incorporate my daughters works in fashion, screen printings, murals and art works within a boutique atmosphere and have three to four fine artist receptions in the year. some of the shows will partner with other artists but most will be solo shows representing “The Asian Welder” thus eliminating the middle man, galleries.
before/after…
2008.
i built the “barn” door myself which slides to an opening nine foot wide to accommodate large works! the mural to the right of the front door will change with each new year to reflect the experience of the salon. the back wall (pink) will change colors with each artist reception!
2009.
looking outside the front “gallery” windows…..
this is where i work today! a magnificant space with great lighting! the sky lights work so well here that i rarely need to turn the overhead lights on.
