Yabuno Ken
The brilliant sky, powerful land and magnificent architecture - Ken Yabuno (b.1943) creates paintings of cityscapes from his memory. Having studied in Spain and largely influenced by European architecture, he incorporates these elements into his paintings to create his own world.
Yabuno has received critical acclaim at a variety of large exhibitions such as Niki-Ten, and he has also taught at Musashino Art University and Waseda University. He often walks around cities and makes sketches of the places he visits. This is a retrospective exhibition featuring about 50 paintings and drawings.
