Makiko Tanaka Exhibition“sign/kehai”5.9.2008〜6.1.2008
We are pleased to announce the exhibition “sign/kehai”, with new works of Makiko Tanaka, an artist who actively works on a variety of media, such as pencil drawing, water color and installation. Although expression of her imaginative world and emotional description are main concern of her work, she avoids easy “expressive style” and justification of her subjectivity. Her fleeting, but considerably detailed drawing symbolizes her attempt to grab “the sign of existence=kehai”, and it plays the role as a conceptual map of herself. Essences on canvas tell you things about Tanaka, who wants to spread everything on canvas to keep her art pure. In this exhibition, she shows prints and oil paints as well as pencil drawings. Tanaka believes we need to accept the daily life first to witness the unknown landscape we’ve never seen before.

Artist’s Comment
There are no specific meanings in small parts of my paintings such as flowers, women, octopus or dumplings. The collective of these would turn to be, however, the original materials for the creation of “the sign of existence=kehai”. I think lively and non-verbal communication between joy and sadness is going on in the abstract air of “kehai”. Though my media is painting, I would like you to feel them in similar way to “music”.

TAKA Photo Exhibition "In Between" 2008.2.15(Fri)-2008.3.9(Sun)
We are pleased to announce a photo exhibition, "In Between" by TAKA, a photographer who is traveling and shooting all over the world. Taka reconstructs the essential elements in photographs; colors, forms, and textures. In his new series, photos are selected and paired by their common character. These pairs show us new stories in between two images, such as passage of time, or coincidental similarities. Taka excludes forms and textures by blurring the focus in large photo series. The amounts of information is reduced and it makes "the feels of the air" in the scenery visible. Almost like color fields of abstract paintings, they will stimulate your primitive senses without the words. All the image visualize the viewpoints of TAKA who capture "something in between".
