Taichi Nakamura
This marks Taichi Nakamura's fourth solo exhibition, approximately two years after his previous exhibitions "Under the Sky of Nowhere" in 2017, "Ipiria" in 2020, and "Small Works" in 2021. The exhibition will showcase new oil and watercolor paintings.
Nakamura creates paintings with lively brushstrokes, blending and seeping effects, and distinctive color palettes using various materials and techniques.
In Nakamura's work, there is always a gaze towards somewhere distant, a sense of "being here while not being here." He began drawing at a young age and started painting landscapes in his youth, and as an artist, his gaze has become more pronounced over the years. This is evident in titles like "Under the sky of nowhere" and the exhibition "IPIRIA," which is themed around experiences traveling to distant foreign lands and features motifs of spirits. In this exhibition, Nakamura paints "Roads Not on the Map."
Nakamura mentions that the exhibition carries a modest message, "Let's walk on roads not on the map." In an era where everyone uses smartphones to navigate, searching for "roads not on the map" might be considered challenging. The concept of "roads" is both Nakamura's poetic sensibility and a metaphor for the "paths" of life, perhaps also representing the "paths" in the journey of creating art.
Against the backdrop of a fiery sunset, Nakamura's depictions of figures and landscapes always portray the solitude of people's hearts. From the initial brushstroke, the colors consistently gaze beyond the reality of the landscape, seeking something even further away.
