Natsuyuki Nakanishi
SCAI THE BATHHOUSE is pleased to present “A Study of the Glaringly Bright,” a solo exhibition of works by Natsuyuki Nakanishi, curated by the art critic Yusuke Minami. Marking the tenth anniversary of his passing, this exhibition coincides with the retrospective on view at the National Museum of Art, Osaka (scheduled to tour to the Yamanashi Prefectural Museum of Art, the Sezon Museum of Modern Art, and the Museum of Modern Art, Ibaraki). With the cooperation of the Estate of Natsuyuki Nakanishi, the exhibition features a selection of his paintings from the 1960s through his final years, including previously unseen studies. Throughout a career spanning more than fifty years, Nakanishi continually returned to questions concerning the origins of painting. “Painting is the study of the glaringly bright,” he once stated. Taking his words as a point of departure, this exhibition reflects on Nakanishi’s singular thinking and practice, serving as a space to reexamine the very act of painting.
