Sao Tanaka Counter-Sublime

Opening this Saturday, November 14, 5–8 pm
Sao Tanaka: Counter-Sublime
One Mile Gallery, Kingston

Join us for our final opening of 2026 as One Mile Gallery presents Counter-Sublime, a solo exhibition of paintings by Sao Tanaka.

Presented in the Hudson Valley, Tanaka’s work enters into a resonant conversation with the region’s long history of landscape painting. Her imagined landscapes offer a vision of nature that feels elemental, fluid, and continually in the process of becoming.

Drawing from traditional Japanese painting techniques, contemporary abstraction, creation myths, and Eastern philosophical traditions, Tanaka builds atmospheric worlds of water, stone, light, and air. Horizons dissolve, and familiar geography gives way to something quieter and more mysterious.

Counter-Sublime invites a relationship with landscape grounded in uncertainty, openness, and wonder.

Opening reception: Saturday, November 14, 5–8 pm
On view through December 12.
