A fantastic space which suits the season of summer was produced by the combination of the painter and the photographer in “Midsummer Night’s Dream” exhibition that had been held last August in summer.
“The Phenix and the Turtle”, the exhibition of this time, was namesake of work by William Shakespeare, we represent a space with the dream at midsummer as the theme by three painters.
Tokumori Mariko paints women and animals by beautiful colour and her handwriting on vinyl chloride board and acrylic sheet as support medium, Ichirota Suzuki shows eeriness of park in the city which is like parallel world, Yamawaki Kosuke paints inhabitant of his own world in himself by oil paintings.
The faceless women drawn by Tokumori, broad and uncanny parks by Suzuki and characters in Yamawaki’s imaginally world are all like memory of dream which is obscure and unstable, some parts are very clear but it never be clear.We offer special, obscure memory that whether it was a reality or a dream is not clear when it once passed away, according to a special season of summer.
The painter will come to the gallery to attend the reception party given on the first day, July 18 of the exhibition. Please consider this matter and kindly forward this to anyone you know.
