SUMMARY:"New Vista: A Theology of Making” Reception
DESCRIPTION:All are welcome to join contemporary artist Makoto Fujimura and the art@pts initiative on November 3 from 7-9 p.m. for a public reception celebrating “New Vista: A Theology of Making” at Princeton Theological Seminary’s Erdman Center. The reception will include a gallery talk by Fujimura; the screening of a new\, short documentary; and a book signing. Copies of Fujimura’s Art + Faith: A Theology of Making (2021) will be available for purchase. \nFujimura’s process-driven\, refractive\, “slow art” has been praised by David Brooks of the New York Times as a “small rebellion against the quickening of time.” Fujimura uses Nihonga (Japanese-style painting) materials using pulverized minerals\, gold\, silver\, and other materials used in 17th century Japan\, but combing them now with space-age materials to create a durable surface. Many of the paintings layer up to 150 layers in order to get maximum refraction built into the pulverized minerals. Therefore\, these paintings have a different “look” depending on the light\, and on what angle the viewer looks from. \n“New Vista: A Theology of Making” will be on display until November 26. Entry is free and open to the public. All are welcome to visit the Erdman Center at Princeton Seminary during the building’s operating hours. \nLearn more about the exhibit \nThe art@pts initiative seeks to promote the place of aesthetics and the arts in the intellectual and spiritual life of the campus and its surrounding communities by providing welcoming spaces for artists to display their work and by fostering dialogue about the significance of the creative arts at the interaction of faith\, academy\, and society. “New Vista: A Theology of Making” is the first in a series of exhibits to be offered at Princeton Seminary. \nAbout the Artist\nMeta Makoto Fujimura\nMakoto Fujimura graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Bucknell University\, then studied in a traditional Japanese painting doctorate program for several years at Tokyo University of the Arts.

His art is represented by Artrue International in Asia. \nAs well as being a leading contemporary painter\, Fujimura is also an arts advocate\, writer\, and speaker who is recognized worldwide as a cultural influencer. His writings include Refractions (NavPress)\, Culture Care (IVPress)\, Silence and Beauty (IVPress)\, and the highly anticipated Art + Faith: A Theology of Making. A presidential appointee to the National Council on the Arts from 2003-2009\, Fujimura served as an international advocate for the arts\, speaking with decision makers and advising governmental policies on the arts. \nFujimura is a recipient of four Doctor of Arts honorary degrees\, from Belhaven University in 2011\, Biola University in 2012\, Cairn University in 2014\, and Roanoke College in 2015.

SUMMARY:"New Vista: A Theology of Making” Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The art@pts initiative is hosting an exhibit featuring 14 paintings and prints by contemporary artist Makoto Fujimura.
