Kei Takemura
Taka Ishii Gallery Maebashi is pleased to present “Catch and Release,” a solo exhibition of works by Kei Takemura, from Friday, September 19, to Sunday, October 26, 2025. Takemura has long explored the layering of time, memories inhabiting the body, and elusive sensations that emerge at the threshold between interior and exterior. Highlighting subtle changes and minor dislocations in both the body and space, her practice invites reconsideration of how we perceive the world. This exhibition presents new works in which she engages with fragments of memory that usually escape awareness and with the margins of ambiguous sensation, gently illuminating the texture of everyday perception.
Takemura’s works layer personal memories and fragmentary events, evoking links to a universal world that lurks within our everyday surroundings. The new works in this exhibition transcend specific themes such as art-historical imagery, motherhood, and family, presenting us with relationships in which people remain close yet never fully converge, and showing both the obverse and the reverse of worlds that exist side by side. Together, the works speak with a quiet yet insistent resonance about how our perceptions and memories take shape within endlessly unfolding layers of time, and how, in the intervals between moments, each of our worlds comes into being.
