Discover the quiet beauty of 'Stillness in Motion' at Blue Hawai'i Lifestyle, Ala Moana Center. 📸 Join us in appreciating the delicate interplay between tranquility and activity, as captured by our talented Hawaiʻi-based artists.
This humble exhibition invites you to reflect on the simplicity of observation, finding stillness in motion within our island environment. Embrace the subtle stories told through the lens of local creators.
German-born artist Max Ernst was a key figure in the movements of Dada and Surrealism that took place in Europe in early part of the 20th century. This exhibition highlights Ernst’s role in the development of these historical art movements through a selection of sculptures, prints, and a series of tapestries by Yvette Cauquil-Prince, who worked closely with the artist to translate his paintings into large-scale woven textiles. With a number of rarely exhibited works from Ernst’s wide-spanning career, the experience will provide windows of insight into his working process and his life spent in Sedona, including original concrete frieze sculptures that were embedded into the walls of his home. The exhibit is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Admission is free. The exhibit will be closed the following days: April 19, April 27, May 10-11, and May 18.

Manini GALLERY proudly presents “Future Island Cultures,” the latest groundbreaking exhibition by renowned artist Solomon Enos, hosted at the esteemed Hawai’i Theatre Center. This immersive showcase invites art enthusiasts and visionaries alike to embark on a journey into the realms of Pasifika and Indigenous Futurism, exploring Solomon Enos’s unparalleled fusion of art, science, and societal reflection.
Enos’s captivating collection of paintings, meticulously crafted during and following his transformative expedition to Apia, Sāmoa, funded through the University of Edinburgh, transports audiences beyond the confines of the present into a realm of boundless imagination. Drawing inspiration from his voyages to Tahiti and the Tuamotu islands in previous years, Enos pushes the boundaries of Hawaiian Science Fiction to embrace broader horizons, envisioning vibrant, hopeful futures for the Pacific.
