Overview

We are pleased to announce the gallery’s spring show, Plant Tales, which is an exhibition by three artists; Saya Yamagishi, Astrid Köppe, and Ryonosuke Fukui, who create their work inspired by plants. We do hope you find the opportunity to see and enjoy the “storytelling” through creation by each artist.



♦ Saya Yamagishi [1981 - ]
Living in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa prefecture, Saya Yamagishi creates imaginary plants, which are tiny and elegant, using traditional Japanese lacquer decorating techniques of Japanese lacquer like raden (mother‐of‐pearl work), makie (gold lacquer), and rankaku (eggshells). Each piece is attached to a beautiful short text like a plant specimens that describes the characteristics and origin of the name of the new species. The fictional words by the artist prompt us to imagine the invisible details of the plants or the scenery where they live. You can even wear the objects as jewelry like a brooch.

♦ Astrid Köppe [1974 - ]
Astrid Köppe, who lives in Berlin, has done all of her work exclusively on the same medium - A4 paper in portrait format. The mysterious objects in her drawings look like plants, animals, minerals, fungi, or some alien hybridized combination of these, and invite multiple interpretations. Her works have been widely exhibited in Europe, the US, and Asia. She is taking part in the Group Show “In a Dream, the Journey Is Within Reach”, from 29 April to 22 May 2022 at CENTPURE in Higashikawa town, Hokkaido.
and more


♦ Ryonosuke Fukui [1923-1986]
Gallery Sekiryu has held exhibitions which featured “mimeographic works” by Ryonosuke Fukui five times. He has prolifically created over 300 mimeographs in the span of a decade (circa 1955-1965). Even though he used an easy and common print technique at that time, so-called mimeograph printing, his work had a profound and elegant mood. He used waxed paper as the plates and colored them with oil paints. The lines possess a unique sensitivity which are created by an extremely thin cutter.
