Satoshi Uchiumi

Uchiumi Satoshi paints by covering his work surfaces with thousands upon thousands of colored dots, an approach that creates site-specific works strongly tied to each individual exhibition space. His “philosophy of painting” highlights the various relationships comprising any given painting: relationships between created work and display space, between created work and viewer, and between the colors and textures of the pigments spread across the surface of the canvas. Uchiumi has become known for his exhibits' ability to bring the viewer to a forceful awareness of these relationships inherent in painted works of art.

His latest piece will stand over 9 meters long and 5 meters high, fully occupying a large swath of wall within the Shiseido Gallery. The Shiseido Gallery's unique display space, including the highest art gallery ceiling in the Ginza area, offers a wonderful opportunity to see how Uchiumi Satoshi will surpass himself once again with works of such magnitude and presence.
