Artists
Soichiro Tomioka, Mamiko Nakamura
Soichiro Tomioka (1922-1994), has been pursuing the possibility of expression in black and white for 30 years by applying white paint, which he named "Tomioka White," to a canvas using unique tools and techniques, and then cutting and grinding it. Until the end of his life, he continued to resist stylization and struggled to grasp the freedom to play with the sky by changing the subject matter to fireworks, water, wind, clouds, and stars.
This exhibition commemorates the 100th anniversary of Tomioka's birth and traces the path of his life in white through representative works from the collection of the Tomioka White Museum of Art in Minamiuonuma City. The exhibition also features Mamiko Nakamura (1972-), a printmaker who, like Tomioka, explores the world of black and white by engraving and printing mainly with drypoint.
