PAST EXHIBITION
Oritakei Exhibition 『Gap between empty and ?』
3.9 sat - 3.31 sun 2024
How was 2023?
I stopped drawing for 1 year and started drawing again this year.
This is the first time in life that I didn't draw a picture.
It's something I didn't draw by myself.
If you remove the 「people」,「color」,「line」, what is left in your body?
If you don't have any of the elements that are part of it, is there something left?
Recently, I have confirmed what I can see by losing.
In this exhibition, I have collected works from each of my private parts.
There may also be works that I saw in the past.
2023年はいかがお過ごしでしたか？私は1年間丸々筆を休めて、年が明けてからようやくまた筆をとり始めました。
筆を休めている間、作品づくりも落書きも全くせず、こんなに絵から離れたのはおそらく人生で初めてだったように思います。
自分の今までを占めていたものをぱったり閉じた時、縁は一生途絶えるのかと思うと案外そうでもなく、年が明けて、「は〜なんか描いてみるか」と重い腕を上げて描いた新しい白黒の動物たちは、2022年の自分には間違いなく描けなかったものたちです。
線を失くし、人を失くし、色を失くすことで、自分の中に残るものはなんでしょうか。自分たらしめる要素をなくしたら、迎えるのは喪失だけでしょうか。
結局戻ってくるものも含めて、失うことで見えるものを筆とともに確かめているのが最近です。
今回の展示は、わたしにとっての各分岐点にあたる作品を集めました。いつか見た過去の作品もあるかもしれません。
あの頃の懐かしさも含めて、俯瞰的な時間を楽しんでいただければ幸いです。

Yoichiro Ito Exhibition "NEWFACE 2022"
10.15 sat - 10.30 sun 2022
This exhibition will be the latest works in the "NEWFACE" series, which can be called a lifework that has continued since the first solo exhibition.
A style that captures the individuality and expression that emerges from the painting itself by layering layers of drawing and scraping, erasing and drawing.
The colors and lines that I have chosen to guide me, and the colors and shapes that emerge from the accumulation of work based on my intuition, can be called a metaphor for the accumulation of joy and error in daily life, and the current location of people and history.

Yuina Wada Exhibition "Healthy Body"
9.17 sat - 10.9 sun 2022
Now I'm in front of a person who has critically ill, then I think anything else which I had been wondering is not important.
Because I cannot tell him/her any topic how to live.
For him/her, how to live is just if medical will be succeeded. Now.
I feel there is nothing if I tell anyone any topic what doesn't reach him/her who is in front of me.
I wrote "in front of me" but that's figurative expression.
In reality, there is a wall in front of me. There is the person beyond that.
Physical illness lives in one person.
As you know, "Infection prevention" is done by emphasizing that each person has each body.
Make a wall between us and don’t see each other. Until he/she will get well.
Really Lonely
But no choice, loneliness is inferior to physical illness.
If I am busy feeling lonely, that's probably why I have "Healthy Body".
After all, I am healthy and Now I just see the wall and believe that he/she is alive beyond that.

Yasuhiro Tsutsumi, Masakiyo Hamasaki exhibition
"As it is."
7.23 sat - 8.14 sun 2022
ABOUT ARTISTS
Yasuhiro Tsutsumi
Born in 1967.
I live in Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture.
My art shifted from concrete to abstract expression from 2008.
I start by layering colors.
Overlapping colors trigger my thoughts and lead to memories.
If the piece doesn’ t sync with what I see in my head, I scrape the unmatching colors off. I repeat this simple act silently. Then suddenly, something never seen before appears. Like these pieces that seemingly come into being on their own,
unduplicatable things will naturally manifest over long periods of time.
The pieces are reflections of fragments in my memory and you can almost touch it.
Masakiyo Hamasaki
The artist draws things around his daily life as if he keeps a journal.
He applies both representational and abstract ways of drawing by using a variety of materials.
Yurie Sekiya Exhibition 「MAKE UP GIRLS」

Takeshi Uchibayashi Exhibition "What I liked back then and now"
4.9 sat - 5.9 sun 2022
This exhibition is different from the usual gallery, and the works are installed in the show window facing the street.
Unlike visiting the gallery to see the exhibition, it is likely that people who pass by while commuting to work, going to school, taking a walk or shopping will happen to see it, that is, it is better to come into contact with Takeshi Uchibayashi's work for the first time.
I think it's the majority, and I'm making this kind of work.
I chose some different types of works that I could introduce myself to.
Then, I saw "old doors," "gears," "full moons," "shining stones," "galaxies in boxes," and other "things I liked back then and now."
It would be great if you could remember "then" with a small work that you suddenly saw.
