CHRONOGRAM: Upstate Art Weekend Highlights to Check Out

"Matsuyama’s dazzling, anime-inflected dreamscapes hang like technicolor ghosts in Edward Hopper’s boyhood home in Nyack, a time-slip dialogue between two artists separated by oceans and a century, but united by a fascination with the figure adrift. Matsuyama’s paintings thrum with energy—blending Edo-era iconography, global pop, and fractured consumer mythologies—and manage to make Hopper’s stillness feel more haunted in contrast."

This exhibition of paintings and works on paper by the contemporary Japanese American artist Tomokazu Matsuyama (Matsu) centers around his new and very recently finished large-scale painting Morning Sun Dance. Inspired by Edward Hopper’s iconic 1952 painting Morning Sun in the collection of the Columbus Museum of Art, it delves into the complexities of solitude and life in a globalized, consumer-driven world—recurring themes in Matsu’s work.
