Yuka Namekawa
Yuka Namekawa is known for her simple and eloquent expression of the figure. These figures resemble the life of city dwellers (including the viewers), and she expresses the attraction of people’s movement in everyday life. She continued this style for about ten years, starting in the Nineties.
From 2007 to 2008 her style began to change. She locked the figures into frosted glass and also created work using the permeable resin, which belongs more closely to 2D works than to sculptures. More changes happened when she moved to London in 2008 and stayed in the following year. It was creation of works without figures, replaced by use of cubes.
This exhibition will be the first time since Namekawa’s return to Japan, exhibiting her figure sculptures and semitransparent resin work, to the recent three-dimensional works of cubes. Viewers can see the transition in her attitudes and the changes in the relationship between artist and viewers.
Exhibition of large installations is for 6 days only: Dec. 20 (Tue) - 25 (Sun)
