“Nature’s Route”

In this group exhibition, imura art gallery will exhibit works by Kawato Aya, Tajima Etsuko, and Tsujimura Shiro, while Mizuma Gallery will exhibit works by Jun Nguyen-Hatsushiba and Ken+Julia Yonetani.

Kawato Aya creates paintings that are influenced by the way we perceive natural light, focusing on perceptual effects and human optical illusions. Tashima Esuko expresses plant motifs using ceramics and glass, and Tsujimura Shiro creates ceramic works while living amongst nature and soil on a daily basis.

Jun Nguyen-Hatsushiba captures personal reflections from his home in Houston and sublimates them into the metaphysical through the intersection of light and darkness in everyday scenes. Meanwhile, Ken+Julia Yonetani who create works while working on a farm in Kyoto, will exhibit their work “Dysbiotica”, which warns of the gloomy future of the symbiosis between microorganisms and the living things.

We hope that this exhibition will provide an opportunity to explore the many routes of approach to the natural world through artworks, and to view nature and art from a completely new perspective.
