The Human Body Through Art

Kris Goto and Eric West

A downtown gallery is interpreting the human body through the style and design of two different artists. 

“The Body Show-One Body, Two Artists, Two Visions” is a new installation of paintings and drawings at The ARTS at Mark’s Garage.  Artists Kris Goto and Eric West were asked to interpret different body parts into their own style.  The result is less about the human body, and more a whimsical take on how two different artists see, feel, & create.  Goto’s work turns a pair of lungs into coral being nibbled by adorable fish.  While West’s work translates the same subject into a multicolored, geometric maze reminiscent of aboriginal artwork. Goto works with ink blended into colored pencils.

West takes a multimedia approach to his artwork.

Nick Yee’s passion for music developed at an early age, as he collected jazz and rock records pulled from dusty locations while growing up in both Southern California and Honolulu. In college he started DJing around Honolulu, playing Jazz and Bossa Nova sets at various lounges and clubs under the name dj mr.nick. He started to incorporate Downtempo, House and Breaks into his sets as his popularity grew, eventually getting DJ residences at different Chinatown locations. To this day, he is a fixture in the Honolulu underground club scene, where his live sets are famous for being able to link musical and cultural boundaries, starting mellow and building the audience into a frenzy while steering free of mainstream clichés.
