Satoru Tamura
We are pleased to announce that we are co-hosting the solo exhibition Spinning Crocodiles by Satoru Tamura, who is based in Tochigi Prefecture with Maki Gallery.
At this exhibition, continuing from his solo exhibition at The National Art Center Tokyo this June, we will focus on the Spin Crocodile series that he has been creating for almost 30 years. More than 1,000 crocodiles are going to spin at two venues, Minamihorie, Osaka, and Omotesando, Tokyo, and an explosion of colors and movements will wrap up the audience with unrealistic dynamism. Despite the fact that Tamura’s crocodiles are electronic machines, they have their own unique warmth and characteristic that come from him making these works with his own hands, one by one, and have unique names.
This will be the opportunity that will bring together Tamura’s crocodile from old works to his newest works that could have been said to be his origin as an artist who has been creating works with the concept that diminishes the meaning and purpose of the work itself.
