"He Alo A He Alo: Face to Face, Visions & Portraits of Hawai'i," a new art exhibition on display in the Ewa Gallery of the Hawai'i State Art Museum, opens at 5 p.m. tomorrow as part of First Friday.

The title is part of an expression that means coming into communion with someone else. The new installation includes paintings titled "Portrait de Phyllis Dobson" by Mexican artist Diego Rivera depicts the late arts patron Phyllis "Dobson" Hume Spalding as a young woman. Also seen is a formal portrait from 1975 of Rosalie Lokalia Montgomery by artist Willson Y. Stamper.

From the Hawai'i State Art Collection, the exhibition includes a black and white photograph taken in 1969 of Hawai'i artist Madge Tennent. Her towering painting of "Two Sisters" hangs in the same Ewa gallery.

The exhibition also features more recent works, including one by Tian Wei, who journeyed from China to Hawai'i to study Western artistic traditions.

"The Palolo Kids and Friends" exhibition features black and white photographs made in the mid-1970s by Eric Yanagi and Francis Haar.
