Ryu Takeda
KOSAKU KANECHIKA is pleased to present Ryu Takeda’s solo exhibition “Oracle Bone” at the Tennoz gallery from August 16 to September 27, 2025.
Ryu Takeda’s paintings evoke the imagery of accidental stains or scars. He remarks that the memories and characteristics of the rural forests from his childhood are expressed not only through his sight, but through sound, smell and touch. Takeda, who often compares the act of painting to an excavation, paints as if to unearth the unconscious realm that has been lost through verbalization and classification.
Having previously worked with media such as photography, video, and performance, Takeda has focused on painting in recent years, capturing the state of different structures in this world by interacting with the material. However, rather than fixing them on the canvas, he depicts them as generative—things that transform more and more as we try to grasp them.
