Colorways Group Show - March 20th to – April 30th, 2026
K. Imperial Fine Art is excited to present Colorways, a splashy foray into the world of pattern, color forms, and arrangements. A vibrant thread of bold hues and rich saturation connects the creations of Kaori Fukuyama, Lily Prince, Danielle Riede, and Ellen Weider. Beyond their shared vivid palette, this diverse collection of works are further linked by persistent repetition of shapes and undulating forms. The exhibit is on view by appointment from March 20th to – April 30 th, 2026.
The group exhibition introduces four artists new to K. Imperial Fine Art, and they bring with them unique perspectives stemming from a broad range of backgrounds and locations.
Kaori Fukuyama -Tabiji II
36 x 25 x 3 inches
oil on canvas
2026
Japanese born Kaori Fukuyama is a multidisciplinary artist and educator based in San Diego, CA, working across site-specific installation, sculpture, and painting. She holds a degree in Landscape Architecture from the University of Oregon. Her background in environmental design continues to inform her artistic practice, which focuses on perception, with particular attention to light and its role in shaping awareness of color, form, and space. Fukuyama’s works are the most understated of this grouping, with their quiet strength of presence and impact coming from subtle gradients and shifts of color spread over exquisitely executed structures.
New York-based painter Lily Prince has her B.F.A. from the Rhode Island School of Design, her M.F.A. from Bard College, and studied at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Prince has exhibited widely both nationally and internationally. In 2020, she was awarded the prestigious Pollock-Krasner award in painting. For Prince, the arrangements used throughout her paintings are equivalent to sound--she sees patterns in nature as musical: symphonic, chaotic, expressive of a lonely sense of beauty. Her paintings portray the pulsating rhythms found in undulating hills, rippling fertile fields, echoing distant mountains, and shifting skies. There is a pulsating energy to her landscapes, a sense established by her repetitive mark-making and heightened by her selection of intense, contrasting colors.
Danielle Riede - Aquamarine
2026
oil on porous matte gesso
30" x 40"
Danielle Riede grew up in the United States and Iceland and resides now in Indianapolis, IN. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art from the University of Virginia, her Master of Fine Arts in Painting from Virginia Commonwealth University and also studied with Daniel Buren at the Kunstakademie Duesseldorf. Her international exhibition record includes galleries and museums in Mexico City, Athens, Berlin, and New York, among others. Riede’s paintings in Colorways all hail from her dance inspired Wingspan series. She begins with an intuitive physical movement off of the canvas then records that same movement in paint. Her gestures morph as she moves across the surface and her imagery unfolds: vibrating strata rife with chromatic aberration. Reide’s finished compositions simultaneously evoke the fast movement of motion lines and the glacial passage of time of witnessed in tree rings and sedimentary layers.
Ellen Weider - Mind Over Matter
acrylic & graphite on linen panel
16 x 16”
2023
Born in New York City, Ellen Weider is an American painter whose practice explores the architecture of thought, memory, and imagination. Weider continues to live and work in NYC. She received an MFA from Pratt Institute and a BA from Hunter College. Working primarily in oil, acrylic, and graphite on unbleached linen panels, Weider constructs semi-abstract spaces that hover between structure and symbol, often merging the clarity of geometric form with the ambiguity of metaphor. Her paintings balance flat planes of color and pared-down linework with a psychological depth, creating dreamlike tableaux that suggest both built environments and inner landscapes. Weider’s stable, defined shapes and steady repetitions prove a welcome ballast to some of the other, more frenetic, pieces in the show, while her cheerful colors keep the works light and playful.
Colorways is a joyful introduction to these four new artists. Their works harmonize in spirited synergy while still maintaining their individual resonances. The resulting prismatic cadence is an ebullient welcome to a radiant world.
Colorways will be on view at K. Imperial Fine Art: 49 Geary St. #415, San Francisco, CA, 94108, by appointment from March 20th to – April 30 th, 2026.
