Morgan O'Hara's work is based on culturally contextualised drawing as a fundamental human endeavour, time-tested and evolving on the basis of the historical continuity of the field. This practice requires presence in the here and now, connectedness, attentive observation and the transmission of lived experience. In doing so, the artist transcends the apparent "opposition" between abstract and figurative art, between gestural expression and documentary intention, resulting in a narrative work that is not figurative. Morgan O'Hara (b. 1941, Los Angeles) grew up in an international community in post-war Japan. Her practice attempts to capture the liveliness revealed through the movement of beings in her drawings. O'Hara received her Master of Fine Arts degree from California State University, Los Angeles. In 1978 he had his first solo exhibition at the Canton Museum of Fine Arts in Lausanne, Switzerland. In 1989, at the invitation of Boris Nieslony, he took up performative drawing - he participated in international performance art festivals, created his first drawings on the walls of De Fabriek in Eindhoven (The Netherlands), and started to practice the Japanese martial art of Aikido. In 1997, the artist's work was honoured with a solo exhibition at the newly opened Drawing Room at the Drawing Centre in New York. O'Hara currently lives and works in Venice and New York. He is an active participant in international exhibitions. The exhibition will be on view at Meno parkas Gallery (27 Rotušės a. 27, Kaunas) until 11 August.
