Tomio Koyama Gallery showcases large paintings of the seashore, some small landscapes and some portraits by Toru Kuwakubo who says “Recently, everything I see seem like the painted motifs”. The title of the show “World Citizens with the White Boxes” comes from his day dream that he had during his stay in Europe; he saw sculptural female figures going up the escalator although they actually were humans. The idea was to suppose ‘what if all humans were sculptures with white pedestals’.
Please come see the contemporary vision of an artist, who has seen Europe in the eyes of a Japanese oil painter from the 20th Century.
