Ju Young Ban
August 30-October 4 East Gallery 
We invite you to visit Ju Young Ban’s exhibit, "Somewhere Inside," in the Earlville Opera House East Gallery opening on August 30th. Mixed media artist, Ju Young Ban, looks at the process of growth…growth of nature, growth of feeling, and growth of thought, and attempts to capture its beauty and intricacy. She shows astonishing manual skill at drawing these delicate and very beautiful life forms. Her sense of humor is evident in her piece called “Dream” with little lady legs peeking out from under the edge. She looks at biology as pattern and mystery. Is it a mold or coral – a fossil or rock – alive or dead? Ban explores her interior life and, at the same time, observes general facts of nature as a member of the natural world. Discoveries about being alive from particular life experiences become her inspiration. Ju Young Ban has her M.F.A in Painting from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and her B.F.A. in Painting from Hongik University, Seoul, Korea. Visit the Earlville Opera House West Gallery for a new exhibit by Rose Mackiewicz of photographs that blaze with color and form. Both exhibitions in the East and West Gallery will run through October 4th. The galleries at the Earlville Opera House are at 18 East Main Street, Earlville and are open for viewing Tuesday-Friday, 10am-5pm and Saturday, 12-3pm and by appointment. The space is also open during all EOH performances; call (315) 691-3550 for more information.
Earlville Opera House events are made possible, in part, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, a State Agency, and through the generosity of Earlville Opera House members. ARTIST STATEMENT Sometimes everything looks different in an instant. Creatures of nature are changing, moving and growing every second. I am also one of them. I am also growing and changing as a creature of nature. When I think of this I feel the pounding of my heart within. My thinking is growing and so is my feeling. Since then, I try to bring abstract images of growth; growth of nature, growth of feeling, and growth of thought. The images and shapes in my works are inspired by forms of nature. The growth of living creatures as a natural phenomenon, the process of developing ideas from my own experiences, and the invisible connections among them are basic concepts of my art. Spontaneously drawn lines are repeated and become patterns. These lines reflect my ongoing existence. They are expanding without limit and growing like living creatures.
