Jim Treece Presents:
Much of the best Asian art
traditionally has been religious, honoring Buddhist, Hindu, Islamic or other
faiths.
In this month’s MOAS meeting, Jim Treece will
look at Christian art in Asia as a way to
explore how artists in the region use traditional Asian techniques, as well as
Western artistic styles, to express their faith. These techniques include
Indonesian batik, Japanese woodblock prints, Chinese brush paintings, and more.
It will be a celebration of the
incredible variety of what can be considered Asian art, as seen in the
creativity of what is, across most of Asia, a
minority faith
Jim
Treece lived in Japan
for 22 years (1974-78, 1981-87 and 1995-2007), and in Singapore for a year and a half
(1979-81). He was a business reporter for most of that time. He graduated from Carleton College
in Northfield, Minn., in 1975 with a bachelor’s in history,
with a concentration on Japanese history. He has been a member for more than 20
years of the Asian Christian Art Association.
