Amane Murakami
This exhibition will feature a wide variety of works by artist Amane Murakami, including a series of works created during the pandemic, as well as new works created in collaboration with Hasamiyaki pottery.
Although it is easy to be drawn in by the vividness of his colors and the vigor of his iconography, there is a certain serenity in Amane Murakami's work. This serenity is born from Murakami's attitude toward his work, in which he focuses on the emotional turmoil of various events, but does not get carried away by the mood, but calmly analyzes the abstract mental images and tries to express them in a structured manner. Murakami coined the term "abstract composition" for the work he creates with this attitude, and this exhibition will showcase the diverse development of Murakami's abstract compositions.
Specifically, the exhibition focuses on the power of "words," such as "Oharae Kotoba" and Nakaya Nakahara's poems, which are expressed in his unique glyphs. The "tools," which are familiar to the creator and can be called his or her silent partner, are expressed in porcelain. The "envelope," a medium that carries words and images and circulates the world but is destined to be discarded at first, is the focus of this work. And then some works focus on the power of "color," which transcends language by simply dividing and arranging colors. However, as the title of this exhibition suggests, these works are the manifestation of the world of Amane Murakami, who captures the events that occur daily with a flat sensibility and attempts to compose them abstractly.
