Sadly, Muramatsu Gallery closed in 2009. This exhibition presents work by three artists from the gallery's collection.
In the 1960s, Kenji Inumaki (1943-) exhibited several pieces of work in which strings and wires were stretched across the space to prevent visitors from moving in a regular manner. In the 1970s, he began to produce work on paper, including a series of work with lines drawn with a ballpoint pen, and a series of work painted with watercolors so thin that they could not be seen without straining one's eyes, and from the 1980s, he began to produce work on canvas. All of this work presents simple and careful repetitive acts and the results that arise from within the rules. His first solo exhibition at Muramatsu Gallery was in 1969. Since then, he had 11 solo exhibitions at the gallery.
In the 80s and 90s, Kodai Nakahara (1961-) shocked the art world by presenting work that expanded the concept of sculpture in various media, using ready-made products. This exhibition presents three pieces of his work made of paper, including an esquisse of "Viridian Adapter" (owned by Toyota Municipal Museum of Art), a work presented at his first solo exhibition at Muramatsu Gallery in 1989.
Bushirō Mohri (1923-2004) was a star artist in the avant-garde sculpture world, but he suddenly stopped exhibiting after 1964, and a few years later he settled in Toyama to distance himself from the art world not only mentally but also physically, and devoted himself to his work in secret. This exhibition showcases two relief pieces from 1981. In the work from this period, something is embedded in the plaster as if to bury it, and the remnants of these pieces appear on the surface. This is a series of work in which Mori, who most disliked self-imitation, seems to bury his own past habits and work. Previously, Muramatsu Gallery held a solo exhibition in 2005 after Mori's death, presenting his early work as well as the stainless steel work of his later years.
