TAB Event - Nobuhiro Fukui Exhibition

Nobuhiro Fukui Exhibition

This event has ended.
At Tomio Koyama Gallery
Media: Photography, Art Party

Nobuhiro Fukui's first series, Trans Am (2005), depicted scenes of the city photographed between midnight and three a.m. The city at night continues to be his central theme. Of his work, he writes: Visual experiences today are directly and recursively regulated by the acoustic and optical information the media showers us with. What we perceive depends more on the media than on the “things" themselves. I am interested in seeing what people perceive -- and become able to perceive -- when infected with the virus of my photography.
He indicates that photography has the power to thoroughly restore the reality we think we see but actually overlook. With every inch in sharp focus, his scenes overturn our notions of midnight darkness and confront us with a forceful new realism. The artifice of photography allows Fukui to render a scenic reality that exceeds our mediated senses.
For his first solo exhibition at the Tomio Koyama Gallery, Fukui will install a series of nightscapes, taken from a wide range of vantage points in the city, to create an illusion of an unbroken panoramic sweep. We will present nearly twenty new images from his Juxtaposition and Multiples series. The artist has sought to make work that offers fresh insights with every viewing and we urge you to experience it with your own eyes.

Opening Reception: March 8th (Sat), 18:00-20:00

これまでの展示をより進化させたもので、作家としてのこれからがますます期待できる内容だった。

VERy timely to the ever broadening scandals with TWS and the Ishiharas, nepotism, cronyism and collusion. This substandard work which was Last month's show at TWS as featured in today's news. With works purchased by Shinginko's probable purchase- more verification later today- of another Koyam's artists fromTWS should we guess... Shintaro Ohno? Who just so happened to have a show also recently with Chiba (Shugo's artist) and perhaps the 2nd painting purchased by the bank. well at any rate more later, but it is time to shake the trees.
