Join us on March 19, from 5:30–7:30 PM at the El Paso Museum of Art for the Exhibition Reception of “Desert Rinpa” by local artist Mitsumasa Overstreet.
Inspired by the 17th-century Rinpa school founded in Kyoto, Overstreet’s work pays tribute to the desert Southwest while reflecting the cultural influence of his Japanese ancestry. Through traditional Rinpa techniques and imagery of Chihuahuan Desert flora, the exhibition creates a hybrid installation exploring cross-cultural connection, ancestry, and lived experience.
“Desert Rinpa” is presented in partnership with MCAD’s Artist Incubator Program. Support for the project is provided by the Mellon Foundation, the Texas Commission on the Arts, and the El Paso Museum of Art Foundation.
