Yasuaki Onishi is an internationally celebrated artist working in the mediums of installation, sculpture and painting. Using materials that tend not to retain clearly defined shapes, Onishi creates works that have significant effects on spaces. Onishi’s exhibition “Permeating Landscape” is on view at Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art until October 27. This artist talk is co-hosted by MGM Resorts Art & Culture.

UNLV Visiting Artists, Designers, and Art Historians are sponsored by the Department of Art, the College of Fine Arts, and community partners. The UNLV Department of Art is fortunate to host cutting edge artists, designers, and art historians. These inspiring creative leaders visit the campus to engage with students.
