Inviting you to King's Art Exhibition at Meredith College Art Department

Together - We are Having a Good Day Together features the mother and son duo, Yuko Taylor and King Godwin, whose bond infuences one another’s own personal expression within their bodies of work. Apart from being an artist, Yuko’s life work has been to support King, an adult with autism. King transfers his feelings and what is true to him onto canvas and three-dimensional objects using bright, vibrant colors along with numbers that hold a special signifcance. Yuko, a Japanese-American Nihonga and oil painter, has exhibited works globally and draws inspiration from modern Western art and Japanese historical imagery. While King expresses his day, Yuko relays timelessness through her depiction of nature. King teaches Yuko the true meaning of how art impacts human beings, and in return, Yuko motivates King to keep pursuing his art. While the Covid-19-quarantine world diminished the community that supported them, King helped Yuko realize the only thing of importance was how to live their day-to-day lives—through painting. Trough this revelation, they recognized there was no loss. Yuko writes: “We are thankful that we have art in our lives. We are together, and having a good day.”
