About Yumiko Glover:Yumiko Glover was born and raised in Hiroshima, Japan. She received her BFA from the University of Hawai’i in 2011 and her MFA from UC Santa Barbara in 2017. She is currently the artist-in-residence 2017-2018 at UC Santa Barbara.
Glover has exhibited her artwork in a solo exhibitions at the Glass Box Gallery at UCSB, and the Brian Ohno Gallery in Seattle, Washington, curated group exhibitions at the Cedar Street Galleries in Honolulu, the Chicago Urban Art Retreat Center, the Honolulu Museum of Art’s exhibition Modern Love: 20th Century Japanese Erotic Art and the Honolulu Museum of Art’s 2013 Biennial Artists of Hawai’i. Glover was selected as the Top 25 Fine Artists for the 100 Best Annual 2014 & 2015 issues of the Creative Quarterly, the Journal of Art & Design.
Transience of life, a central tenet of Buddhism that is used to describe the aesthetics of impermanence, is the major concept of her current work. By combining the elements that symbolize impermanence, Glover is representing the preciousness of those lives that existed during past and current wars. Glover’s most recent work, Transience, will be exhibited at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) from January 2018 as a part of Wild Blue Yonder exhibition.
