Eiji Uematsu
The show, which also serves as Gallery 38’s inaugural exhibition, features thirty works by the artist, reconfiguring the acclaimed exhibition The Sky that the Rabbits Saw, first shown in June this year at the Kyoto City University of Arts Art Gallery @KCUA, with several new works being exhibited here for the first time.
Eiji Uematsu’s works have the power to inspire a sense of nostalgia in the viewer, evoking shared memories of time spent playing in the soil and a more primordial relationship between humankind and nature. One senses that the fundamental beauty of Uematsu’s works shows us something vital that is gradually being lost from contemporary artistic expression, something akin to the simple yet powerful art once created by ancient people who lived in harmony with nature. Look again; listen. The artist engages tirelessly in a dialogue with soil and fire, experiencing the joys and wonders of their intrinsic power. Through this process, Uematsu’s works are imbued with an ineffable quality that transcends human intentionality and expression, a gift from the natural world.
