Shigeno Ichimura
Shigeno Ichimura lives and works in New York. In 1997, he was awarded the 2nd prize for the Texas National as the first ever Asian award recipient in its history. Then in 2002, he received an Artist Fellowship from the New York Foundation for the Arts.
This will be his first solo show in Japan, and will concentrate on his new works from the two series "Time Compression" and "Silver Monochrome."
In "Silver Monochrome", a number of dots are spread out or gathered, and the images are only made to appear with the help of some light reflection. Light is crucial in visual culture, and Shigeno Ichimura works with this theme. On the other hand, in "Time Compression", iron rust from iron powder paste draws a pattern. This work highlights the time it has taken for the rust to develop.
Those subtle differences between the works mark an opportunity for a dialogue around the notion of individuality.
'Light' and 'time' are keywords in Ichimura's works. He goes beyond the border of traditional painting and the act of drawing to draw out the responses from the viewers.
