This is the second show of the serial 'Landschaft' (meaning 'landscape' in German) exhibition, which aims to show new types of landscapes created by three up-and-coming artists and their unique visions using different medias - sculpture, photograph and film.
Toni Kleinlercher (born '58) is an Austrian artist who focuses on a symbiosis of artificiality in nature and the natural act of artificiality in video films showing people mowing grass. As the artist states, "I consider my artistic work as a practice, as a process, which is ongoing". His films seem to pose us a question on the relationships between nature and human.
This is the first time for Koichiro Kutsuna (born '73) to exhibit his work at an art gallery. He studied photography at Bunka Gakuin and has been constructing his own aesthetics through his camera lens. His instinct to capture unknown expressions of the world surrounding us elucidates his connoted talent.
Shuji Yamamoto (born '79) is a young artist who graduated from Tama Art University in March 2005. His unique motif, pine trees, are deformed in curious ways in his paintings and sculptures made of artificial materials - FRP . Working as a gardener since he was in university, the deformation seen in his artworks is based on the traditional aesthetics of Japanese gardening and implies his respect, as a gardener, for mother nature.
How, do the three artists convert the ordinal landscapes into their artworks? This exhibition invites the audience to see the landscapes captured through the artists' eyes.
