On Sunday, June 11th, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., around 50 invited guests attend the opening reception of Hisako Terasaki Art Exhibit, in the Visual and Media Art (VAMA) Gallery, on the first floor of Da Vinci Hall, Los Angeles City College. The exhibition will last till around July 15, 2023. According to VAMA Gallery, in May of 2019, Los Angeles City College announced the establishment of The Hisako Terasaki Art Scholarship in the LACC Visual and Media Art Department, with a large donation from Mark and Emiko, Hisako Terasaki’s children, in honor of her 90th birthday. Mark is a scientist specialized in chemistry. The scholarship provided merit-based awards for talented art students with financial need. Each spring interested students can apply for the scholarship with artworks they have completed in class, in the categories of photo, graphic design, illustration, and digital arts. All submitted works are judged blindly by the art professors and the top submissions are selected for scholarship awards and group show at VAMA Gallery. Recipients of The Hisako Terasaki Art Scholarship include Stephanie Ko, Janice Lee, Shawanda Parker (2022), Edward Locke, Saina Shayanjoo, Geneva Johnson, and Xiaufan Du (2023).
Hisako Terasaki graduated from LACC in 1950, studying art and education. Her accomplishments in watercolors, intaglio prints with copper plates, and illustrations, are on display during this special exhibition. In 1998, Hisako Terasaki published Hisako Terasaki, A Self Portrait, a book which includes a diverse collection of more than 200 art images. Some of her artworks on display are from this book. |
Hisako Terasaki’s artworks exhibit unique styles. Her watercolor works on display mostly depict flowers of many varieties; and they are created in a more-or-less “impressionist” style with soft edges and bold splashes of paint, pastel-like light colors, with a strong feeling of freshness and “dream world.” Her intaglio works, on the other hand, are more in line with “classical realism,” with more clear-cut edges of the objects, and more details in the scene; and they cover a variety of subject matters including cats, forests and cityscape. Her line-art illustrations can be viewed from a huge monitor; and they focus on children’s play.
The Terasaki family has made outstanding contributions to scientific research and education, to charitable causes, art and cultural exchanges between Japan and the United States. Dr. Paul I. Terasaki, the patriarch of the family, who passed away on January 25, 2016, at the age of 86, is a transplant medicine pioneer, philanthropist, and UCLA professor. Dr. Paul I. Terasaki and his wife Hisako have contributed more than $58 million to UCLA including $50 million toward the state-of-the-art Terasaki Life Sciences Building and an endowed chair in surgery at the Geffen School. Professor Mark Terasaki is an Associate Professor of the Department of Cell Biology at the University of Connecticut, and the initiator of The Hisako Terasaki Art Scholarship. Emiko Terasaki is a well-known knitwear designer and also a philanthropist supporting cultural development locally and nationally. |
