This Fat Canary exhibition continues its visual advocacy at Ceres Gallery with a fascinating lineup of women artists and a range of provocative styles.
The Fat Canary is an independent, pro-artist platform that celebrates contemporary and emerging artists. This alternative space creates exhibition opportunities for contributors of diverse backgrounds, identities, and expressions. Our practice is to leave creative control in the hands of the artist, allowing them the freedom to freely express that which drives, inspires, haunts, and heals them. We are artist owned and operated since 2018 and do not take commission on sales. All inquiries are referred directly to the artists.
Ceres Gallery is a feminist, not-for-profit, alternative space in New York City, dedicated to the promotion of contemporary women in the arts. Ceres serves as a supportive base for diverse artistic and political views. The members of Ceres Gallery believe the arts provide an important social service – that art has the power to educate, enhance, and enrich the quality and depth of people’s lives.

Minako Ito
View Collection IV
May 21 – June 15, 2024
Reception: Thu, May 23, 6-8pm
“A View from MOMA” 2023, 11 x 16”, lithograph
Ceres Gallery is pleased to present View Collection IV an exhibition of colorful lithographs by Minako Ito. Ito is a skilled artist with a delightfully compelling view of life. Her charming lithographs are invitations to share her abundant pleasure in the daily scenes and commonplace objects that make up her real and imaginary life.
View Collection IV is comprised of 21 lithographs. In these prints of private rooms and urban places, the figure is rarely seen, yet the human touch is evident everywhere. Minako Ito captures the lively essence of town, landscape and daily scenes with keen observation. Ito brings us to her precise point of view. By sharing these lively and cheerful images of New York City and her current neighborhood, Tokyo, she transforms the viewer from a wary passerby to a welcomed friend. Her gracious spirit is exactly what is needed at this time.
Ito has studied art in Tokyo and New York City, and is currently living and working in Tokyo. Her work is represented in many private collections and is included in the collections of the New York Public Library. She has also appeared in many group shows in New York City, Seoul, Tokyo and Yokohama.
