  <Description><![CDATA[Nineteenth century French painter Maurice Denis (1870-1943) was influenced by Gauguin and created a new style of painting through beautiful coloring and simple forms. He is well known for his religious works but, on the other hand, the other works he painted based on everyday life, especially those depicting his own children and family, also hold an important position within his art.

This exhibition looks at these paintings themed around children and the family, drawing on domestic and international museums, as well as the collections of individuals, to present around 100 paintings, sketches and photographs.]]></Description>

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition spotlights the work of seven contemporary artists who burn with a passion for drawing and for representing all kinds of physical phenomena as well as the spiritual world that surrounds us by using their own eyes and hands and, moreover, with reference to the works mainly from our own collection, it makes an attempt to approach hidden relationships between abstraction and form in the visual arts. Tomoo Gokita makes a strong impression on those who view his works through his human figures drawn in monochrome. Anders Edstrom, a photographer from Sweden, is trying to capture things that are invisible to eye. In the paintings of Jun Tsunoda, soft colours and delicate forms melt on the picture surface. Shingo Francis seeks the essence of light on a calm and profound colour plane. Niro Nozawa dynamically draws various scenes reflected on the surface of water. Yuji Akatsuka recalls within the picture space the imagined scenery of his distant memories. And Tamihito Yoshikawa seeks out colour forms in the texture of his solid oil painting.

In concert with the artists mentioned above, the exhibition also features works by older artists who influenced them to a certain extent, including Monet, Picasso, Braque, Morandi, Sam Francis and Cy Twombly. Although each of these artists belongs to a different culture and era, we would be gratified if the viewer is able to grasp an essential theme of modern art that has been inherited by each of these individual works, namely, &quot;how the essence of the object can be represented,&quot; through the interaction with the exhibited works.

  <Description><![CDATA[The shadow of a small person stands still on the horizon line. A person walks on a roof. A leaf floats on water and light glistens from it. The place in Japan closest to space, Mt. Fuji — what’s visible from its peak.

Small spaces and big, going back and forth between the microscopic and macroscopic with an original point of view, Rika Noguchi photographs a world overflowing with wonder. Choosing a subject that touches upon the riddle of the planet and its human dwellers, with the transparent quality of her color palette and elegance, she demonstrates a power of expression that is rich in poetic sentiment, garnering high praise both in Japan and abroad. When Noguchi started exhibiting her work in the first half of the 1990s in Japan, use of compact cameras was broadly adopted, affecting big changes in photography. This time was considered to be when a new generation for photographers emerged. Among these new artists Noguchi got a lot of attention early on for her independent style and photographs that pursued the domain of sight. In the almost twenty years of artistic activity since, her work has been exhibited in many international contemporary art exhibitions. 

The stance of Noguchi's creative process is to approach the freeness of photography as a medium, which relates to the eager quest of the new work included in this current exhibition.

  <Description><![CDATA[One of Japan’s leading contemporary sculptors, Shigeo Toya uses a chainsaw to carve and chisel away at this material before coating it with ash. The resultant sculptures, riddled with pleats, protrusions and cavities, evoke a palpable tension in the viewer. This exhibition showcases some of his recent works set against the striking underground and overground spaces of the museum.

  <Description><![CDATA[This exhibition is the largest exhibition in the history of the Swiss contemporary artists Gerda Steiner and Jorg Lenzlinger, known for their series of dynamic site specific installations.

Since 1997, Gerda and Jorg have been working together and presented wide range of works including installation, collage, photograph, painting and sculpture. Among them, their site specific installations, created in accordance to the specific space, are well known. They often reveal the invisible and unknown cultural significance of the exhibiting site by the artists actually living there and communicating with local people during the creating process. 

The installation usually holds a poetic ambiguity which is always full of ideas about how our world can be. Gerda and Jorg have strong interests in human activities, mysteries and wonders of life, in the relationships between body and mind and the surrounding environment. Those interests are reflected to their creations in the forms of various dimensions that the work retains; cultural, psychological, scientific, biological and social. It enables viewers to relate and to interpret in any way they like. Also beds and chairs in the installations help visitors to enjoy seeing, staying, and being a part of it comfortably, and suggest experience for the senses.

At Art Tower Mito Contemporary Art gallery, Gerda and Jorg will present both their latest and past works created from 1998, which have previously only been introduced fragmentarily in Japan. It includes new and never-before-seen works. They will stay in Mito for more than one month and explore the current environmental and social situations after the massive earthquake on 3.11, and create their latest installations under the theme of power sources. It is not only about bringing the world into shape, but making the latest Japan cultural map by revealing the social and cultural phenomena not visible to people inside.

During this exhibition period, one year will be marked since the earthquake. Showcasing a panoramic view on the artists’ over ten years of history and their latest activities, this exhibition will be a power source to each and everyone of the viewers.
