Haruko Sasakawa
Haruko Sasakawa (1983–) has been creating works that start by questioning how people are influenced by media. Not only does she produce original work, Sasakawa was also involved in the planning and organization of “Sensou-Ga Studies” exhibition (Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, 2015), which examined “war paintings” from a contemporary perspective, and the “Foujita in the 1940s: Tributes” exhibition (Chinretsukan gallery, the University Art Museum, Tokyo University of the Arts, 2018), which compiled the works of Tsuguharu Fujita, artists lost to war, and contemporary artists. While “war paintings” can be seen as a medium of propaganda and agitation, they also exist as paintings — collections of colors — and can be accepted as a reality of an artist’s compulsion to create, even in times of war. The exhibition presents paintings, videos, and installations by Sasakawa, including her new works, along with paintings and drawings by Kenichi Nakamura (1895–1967), a Western-style painter who also served as a military artist. Focusing on the multifaceted nature of paintings, including “war paintings”, the exhibition considers the process of drawing, from the act itself to the power behind the images, and how they can be appreciated.
