Kristi Abbott Gallery and Studio is excited to bring you a spectacle of color and excitement that will warm the senses and ignite the imagination. Combining the skills and techniques of multiple artists and businesses this show will bring art and fashion together in a way not experienced before. 

Kristi Abbott, an established mixed media collage artist in the Twin Cities, and Yuya Negishi, a famed Japanese mural artist, have worked together previously in 2018, but are excited to work together again on a much more abstract and sensory based body of work. 

Collaborating entirely on all 10 pieces in the collection, Abbott and Negishi will take turns adding layers of paint and paper to the pieces ‐ the final result being a manifestation of artworks each representing the seven colors of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet) as well as three additional pieces – white, black and multi‐colored. 

To compliment this series, Tonya Bryan of Local Motion and Jeana Sommers of HeARTful Endeavors, will co‐ordinate a cat walk of models through the 10 different color fields, drawing on inspiration from the finished artworks to influence the fashions. Local Motion Boutique has been a women’s retail store in the iconic Uptown, Minneapolis neighborhood for more than 30 years.
