We're pleased to present SYNESTHESIA , an online-exclusive presentation of two art forms by two artists for the Fall Asian Art Week New York. The lavishly colored oil canvases of Manika Nagare (b. 1975) and the meditative photographic portraits of Hitoshi Fugo (b. 1947) both evoke a highly sensory and synesthetic experience of sound, color, and shape for the viewer. Nagare uses her paintbrush to capture the ephemeral remnants of light and sound that she feels in the air or in her mind. Fugo photographs viewers of two different waterfalls (Kegon Falls and Niagara Falls) from behind, exploring the meaning of the personal and universal act of gazing at overwhelming nature.

Photographer Hitoshi Fugo focues on the back of a person watching a waterfall, exploring the meaning of the personal and universal act of watching overwhelming nature.
