SUMMARY:‘O ‘Ailā‘au: Reawakening a Sleeping God\, a fine art exhi
 bition featuring the paintings by Kanaka Maoli artist\, Carl Franklin Ka
 ʻailāʻau Pao
DESCRIPTION:The Volcano Art Center invites you to attend ‘O ‘Ailā�
 �au: Reawakening a Sleeping God\, a fine art exhibition featuring the pa
 intings by Kanaka Maoli artist\, Carl Franklin Kaʻailāʻau Pao. This f
 ree exhibit will be on display from April 4 through May 10\, from 9AM-5P
 M daily in Volcano Art Center Gallery in Hawai’i Volcanoes National Pa
 rk. While the exhibit is free\, park entrance fees apply.\nIn his artist
 ic process\, Pao builds successive layers of acrylic paint on canvas and
  wood panels\, using a large straight-edged spatula to scrape the paint 
 across each surface. This forceful gesture both deposits and excavates�
 �applying new layers while simultaneously revealing fragments of those b
 eneath. The dynamic interplay of concealment and exposure echoes the str
 atified lava flows laid down by ʻAilāʻau over millennia. At the same 
 time\, it evokes the layered moʻolelo that are reemerging after a long 
 period of concealment.\nPao introduces more structured compositions of p
 ositive and negative space using masking tape and acrylic aerosol. These
  forms symbolize attributes of ʻAilāʻau and reflect the artist’s on
 going dialogue with his namesake. The interplay between positive and neg
 ative elements embodies the principle of pono—here understood as the r
 ecognition that multiple moʻolelo can coexist in balance and unity. Car
 l F.K. Pao is a celebrated Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) artist born an
 d raised in Kailua on the island of O‘ahu. His artwork features in pri
 vate and public collections both in Hawai‘i and internationally\, incl
 uding at the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum\, the Hawai‘i State Foundati
 on ofthe Arts\, the Peabody Essex Museum\, and the Tjibaou Cultural Cent
 er in Nouméa\, New Caledonia. He is the host and co-producer of the art
  series Art Hunter and for the past 25 years has taught high school art 
 at Kamehameha Schools.\nThe public is invited to meet the artist at the 
 opening reception on Saturday\, April 4th from 2-4pm and at a book signi
 ng event on Saturday\, May 2nd from 11am -1pm. The book titled Mother Tr
 ee\, Daughter Seed: Lessons in Slow Growth was written by exhibit curato
 r Dr. Mārata Tamaira and illustrated by Pao. For more information about
  the exhibition contact the VAC Gallery at (808)967-7565.
