Traces of cherished presences encountered in the quiet corners of everyday life. Kamakura Gallery is delighted to present Sitting and Gazing, a solo exhibition of new works by Shigeaki Koeda, his first at the gallery in four years since “Tsuki wo Utsusu Hana” in 2022. Alongside painting and printmaking, Koeda Shigeaki (b. 1953) has continually developed works combining painting and photography since the 1980s. His 2022 exhibition featured the complete 108 works of Gift from Flowers—a project developed over approximately 20 years inspired by Ito Jakuchu’s barrier paintings—as well as his Moments of the Mind series, drawing wide acclaim for their distinctive depth and luminous sense of space.
For this exhibition, The Quiet View, Koeda presents a new series of works stemming from unexpected encounters in his daily life. Turning away from the bustle of the world to sit and observe his subjects in stillness, the images that emerge resonate softly with the viewer’s own recollections and intimate scenes. We invite you to experience this new pictorial realm, brought forth by the artist’s untainted gaze.
