Yuka Tsuruno Gallery is pleased to present the gallery’s last exhibition “Best Wishes,” from June 4th until July 2nd, 2022. Following a succession of solo exhibitions by 10 artists since reaching the decision to close the gallery in 2021, this exhibition will feature 6 artists ‒ Saki Sumida, Yuichiro Tamura, Manika Nagare, Tomomi Nitta, José Parlá, and Candida Höfer ‒ to mark our conclusion. Thanks to all of your support, the 13 years since opening in 2009 have been a treasured time spent with our 16 artists, each towards our respective dreams. Our final exhibition embodies our love, gratitude, and “Best Wishes, ” for the bright future ahead for our artists and to everyone who supported Yuka Tsuruno Gallery.
Restructuring various cultural landscapes and relationships to phenomena from her perspective, Saki Sumida shows oil paintings that engage with scenes in the Garden of Eden in The Book of Genesis from the Old Testament with humor and cynicism.
Yuichiro Tamura, who presents installations and performances that develop from pre-existing images and objects, and constructs multi-layered narratives that fuse reality and fiction, shows a new work that embodies divine felicitations to the departure of a gallerist moving from Tokyo to Hawaii.
Known as an artist of colors, Manika Nagare, who in recent years is interested in the diversity emanated by luminous and life energies that are cultivated in nature and landscapes, illuminates the exhibition space with small canvases that she painted in response to a renewed appreciation of the necessity of painting in daily life during the pandemic.
Tomomi Nitta, who depicts the existential workings of life as well as its accompanying infinite world and ambiguous perception, says that after giving birth she began contemplating, even more, the awe, the mystery, and the miracle of life. In this exhibition, she entrusts these sentiments to trees and birds as metaphors for the psyche (soul) and the soma (embodiment of life).
Interpreting histories, memories, and experiences that he lives, and evoking these in multilayered paintings that employ his distinctive calligraphy, José Parlá presents a new work “Construction of Time” that mimics and imagines time as a construct through various elements of composition, color, and layers of paint.
Candida Höfer, who photographs interior spaces of magnificent public structures such as libraries and palaces in a manner influenced by the Becher school, exhibits a work that captures Benrath Palace in Düsseldorf, which is renowned for its sublime beauty.
