Megumi Ogita Gallery and Gallery Shiraishi
Closing Sept. 27 / Sept. 22
In Nobuko Watabiki's painting "Courage that lies beyond the reach of my hand I," two lines extend like tangents from a circle, touching and bypassing a second circle. With the background white, the circles red and the lines navy blue, it could be almost a geometrical riff on Japan's rising-sun flag.
