Sarah Tse
Nakoochai Gallery, in cooperation with Fountain (London) and P3 art and environment (Tokyo) is proud to present the first solo exhibition in Tokyo of rising star Sarah Tse. The transitory sketches of youth are the work of Sarah Tse, who is of Hong Kong origin. Since graduating from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in 2009, the artist has been living and working in London. The pencil drawings she currently creates are paradoxes inspired by childhood memories, travels and dreams. She draws an array of paradoxical patterns and images that produce a fragile, nostalgic, timeless, and often disturbing ambience in her drawings. She has been creating works using pencil and paper, the most basic of tools. Through her sketches, Sarah manipulates the meaning of objects, changing the way the world is interpreted.
For her exhibition at the Nakoochai Gallery, Sarah Tse will be exhibiting a series of newly commissioned portraits produced during her recent 2 month residency in Beppu part of the Fountain and P3 art and environment Atelier Interaction Residency Programme UK-Japan. Inspired by Beppu's distinct local communities, the pencil drawings capture and retell the tales, both old and new, of eight unique characters who live in Beppu's colourful narrow city streets; the Japanese stamp hero, Mrs Monchhichi, Casablanca Lilly and the Godfather, to mention but a few. The portraits will be accompanied by a completely new work produced specifically for, and in collaboration with Nakoochai gallery, informed by personal stories and accounts of downtown Tokyo, all collected whilst working with the close knit communities of this distinct and timeless district, Nakoochai, Shinjuku-ku.
The exhibition is accompanied by a limited edition hard bound 35 page publication that contains the tales and stories and associated drawings along with essays by Keith Whittle and Takashi Serizawa.
