Joe Katayama, Hiroko Tokunaga, Makiko Yuasa
Collage is a French word that means gluing, and it is one of the painting techniques that is composed by combining various materials with different characteristics. In this exhibition, the artists took a flexible stance and thought differently from their usual work, such as how to accept and incorporate two other artists into their work.
For this exhibition, Joe Katayama worked on a collage using the wax used in the production process. Katayama, who says that he values the airy atmosphere of his works above all else, cuts out an ordinary landscape, and by using wax, a familiar foreign substance, on the screen, he creates works with a pleasant noise, coexisting with an imaginary existence.
Hiroko Tokunaga will present works created using bricolage, which she describes as “like a massage that relaxes your stiffened senses”. Normally, Tokunaga thinks about the overall image first and systematically arranges and constructs materials, but in this exhibition, she begins her work not with the overall image, but with the individual pieces that will be used as materials, creating the “best pieces”. She says that by starting her work with a different procedure, she is able to create free forms and enrich her ideas.
Makiko Yuasa will present her collage works, which she started to show in her solo exhibition in May this year. Compared to her usual tense pointillism, the works have a more relaxed impression, but still offer a glimpse of Yuasa’s philosophical worldview.
This exhibition is a good opportunity for all three artists to think about their own work from a new perspective by working with a different technique than they usually use.
