Natsuki Takayama

Natsuki Takayama’s paintings are created by using multiple layers of colors drawn with a syringe and delicately scraped off with a carving knife as if she is searching for the unknown colors hidden within. Using tactile or sculptural techniques, Takayama creates a worldview in which people, animals, objects, and the environment become one, which has faded in the modern age. The background of Takayama's work is her strong desire to restore the effective relationship between humans and other objects in a world where various things have become disconnected due to the development of information media and electronic devices.

This exhibition is composed of two groups of works. The first is a series of paintings that evoke nature, such as rock surfaces, painstakingly created through a dialogue with the material of white Japanese marble, which transforms itself through repeated decomposition and mixing. The other, created from fragments of geological strata, is a ceramic work that Takayama has been working on in recent years.
