 FROM EARTH TO SKY / Minako Nakai

Minami-Aoyama Room

Oct 30

Gallery Sekiryu Matsumoto is pleased to represent Minako Nakai’s first solo exhibition. She is an artist who creates three-dimensional pieces based on shapes of the natural world, using Japanese lacquer, urushi, which is sap that flows through an urushi tree.

Nakai always says, “Urushi symbolizes my identity”. After a long and complicated process of urushi, keeping her sensibility fresh from the beginning to end, her work is finally complete. The beautiful gloss evokes a feeling of vitality, the traditional techniques of decorating called Raden and Maki-e add a playful spirit and pop feel to her work. Each highlight of her work sparks joy in its viewers; the daring forms, the delicate details, the combination of colors, and the harmony between different materials like stones and shellfish.

The exhibition title, “From Earth To Sky” is taken from the show by Joan Miro, the great Spanish artist, who Nakai respects.

A seed sprouts from the earth and grows to the sky.  The direction of life like this overlaps with not only the fresh plants and fruits she creates but also the young artist herself who tries to breathe life into her work. We do hope you have a good opportunity to experience her creations.

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.
and more


♦ 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.

 Toeko Tatsuno - TWIN COLORS

Matsumoto

Mar 20

Apr 18

Minami-Aoyama Room

Jun 26

Gallery Sekiryu is pleased to present Toeko Tatsuno’s second solo exhibition in three years. Toeko Tatsuno (1950–2014) was born and raised in Okaya City, Nagano Prefecture, which has a rich natural environment overlooking Lake Suwa. She completed the Master’s Program in oil painting at the Tokyo University of the Arts in 1974. From the early 1970s, she began to exhibit Minimal paper works, using the medium of “printing.” From the 1980s, based on the confidence she gained through those creations, she began to develop works mainly on a large-scale canvas. In 1995, at the age of forty-five, she became the youngest artist ever to hold a solo exhibition at the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo. Throughout her artistic career, she consistently worked on producing oil paintings, drawings and printworks, while also establishing a prominent position in the field of contemporary painting in Japan. Thus, although she passed away in 2014 at the age of sixty-four, her works have continued to be shown in exhibitions in various venues up until today. Tatsuno’s works are also in public collections in forty institutions worldwide.

The majority of the titles of Tatsuno’s works use symbolic characters, such as the production date and the term “Untitled.” The title of this exhibition TWIN COLORS is a phrase Tatsuno had adopted several times for the title of her prints and oil paintings. It is also one of the few titles of hers that carries a meaning. On the other hand, upon reading her interviews, discussions and limited writings, one can understand that she was the rare artist who could clearly articulate her own works. Her words are inspirational to the extent that they resonate in a way distinctive of artists who have continued to think through painting. Thus, they convey the depth of her paintings, while also steering the viewers to take strong interest in them. The words “twin colors” contain such meanings as: there are two; they are similar; they are a pair; there are two colors; and they have a recurring feature. This phrase allows the viewer to perceive the artist’s unique perspective and come to an understanding of an artist who was drawn to those various conditions implied in that phrase, and who also utilized them as clues to her works. This perspective of hers does not only apply to the works with the title TWIN COLORS but also to many of her other works. Thus, one can say that this unique perspective derived from the artist’s strong sense of adherence. Tatsuno gazed upon elements such as the positional relationship between objects, and their height differences, unevenness, and hollowness. From within familiar sights in her daily life, Tatsuno captured a “motive” for her work, and then thoroughly adhered to that “motive idea” as she developed it into a work of art. Her magical works that are passionately loved by many reveal a rich world with a strong sense of strength, which originated from a common “motive” easily approachable by anyone. Tatsuno’s world of art allows one to increasingly feel a sense of newness and vitality. Please come and enjoy Toeko Tatsuno’s exhibition, composed of approximately fifteen works, including oil paintings, drawings and printworks.

 Astrid Köppe - Konfabulasi

Matsumoto

Oct.03

Minami-Aoyama Room

■ Introduction

We are pleased to announce the gallery's representation of the German, Berlin-based contemporary artist, Astrid Köppe.  Born in 1974, the artist has, since 1999, continued creating work in her consistent drawing style in which she depicts seemingly floating objects on A4 paper.  These lifelike forms evoke plants, animals, fungi, minerals or something like that in the viewer's imagination.  The more exquisitely she draws, the more mysterious and ambiguous these objects are — that is just her specialty.  Also, we show the big, vitreous enamel pieces, which the artist has worked on in recent years.  This is quite rare to use as a material for contemporary artwork; it is known as an industrial product, used in household items or road signs.  These enamel pieces are another highlight of this show — unique work from an encounter between a peculiar vitreous texture and a mysterious object.

■ What's “Konfabulasi”?

The title of this show, "Konfabulasi" is the Malay word, which is an equivalent for “Confabulation”, a psychological term.  It contains two meanings for Köppe to reflect both her career and interests. 

Malaysia is a special place for Köppe, which can't be separated from her creations.  After finishing her studies in Braunschweig University of Art with a diploma in 1998 and the “Meisterschüler” (master student) honor in 1999, she attended a residency at the Lost Generation Art Space of the Goethe-Institut in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for the first time in 2010 and was invited to return for another one in the winter 2011/2012. From then on, she has gone back to Malaysia almost every year and continued creating.  She says that the landscapes, animals, plants, and culture in Malaysia always give her tremendous inspiration.  Being in this incredibly different environment, her mind conjures up images of fantastical creatures.  The drawings in this show were created during the three months she stayed in Kuala Lumpur in 2019/20.

Then, Konfabulasi, the title of this show, also suggests her interest — human perception. Confabulation/Konfabulasi is a term that stands for a kind of memory disorder which fabricates memories unconsciously and describes them to the outside world: The origin of her creations is a fitting metaphor for this term.

“...My drawings are based on things that I have seen.  I do not invent forms, but sometimes reduce or exaggerate certain aspects of the objects that I draw.  By doing this, the drawings invite multiple interpretations...” - Astrid Köppe

The objects are generated based on what we can see, but develop their shapes and interpretations — swelling, being twisted or sliced — to evoke the viewer’s imagination.  It’s different from fantasy, which would be simply creating based on a figment of the artist’s own imagination.

Konfabulasi, the title of this show reflects Köppe’s concept around false memories.  She reverses the stigma of these fabricated memories which are often seen as sign of psychological issues, and turns them to our advantage — celebrating our productive and rich perceptual ability.  Also, the somehow funny sound of this word matches her unique and humorous work perfectly.

■ Epilogue

Floating between the worlds of the known and unknown, the small monsters, Bakemono — literally, ‘things that change’ in Japanese —  are always transforming in the viewer's minds.

Through 25 drawings and 4 enamel pieces, the exhibition aims to showcase her world.  We do hope you find the opportunity to see and enjoy them.

Astrid Köppe has been exhibited widely in Europe, America and Asia.  Additionally, her drawings have been included in the public collections around Germany at the Berlinische Galerie, Akademie der Künste and Kupferstichkabinett (Museum of Prints and Drawings) in Berlin, Kupferstichkabinett of the Kunsthalle in Hamburg, and the Biedermann Museum Art.Plus in Donaueschingen.  In South Korea, her work is in the collection of The Young Eun Museum of Contemporary Art in Gwangju.

Shunsuke Osone: Animals, Dry lacquer sculptures

Minami-Aoyama Room

May 26

Gallery Sekiryu is pleased to present an exhibition of animal sculptures using dry lacquer technique by Shunsuke Osone at the gallery in Minami Aoyama, Tokyo, from April 6 to 21 and then in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture from May 11 to 26. Shunsuke Osone (born in Kanagawa Prefecture, 1978) graduated from Department of Industrial, Interior and Craft Design, Musashino Art University in 2002, and took masters course of Cultural Properties Preservation, Tokyo University of the Arts in 2004. He was involved with the Institute of Fine Arts National Treasure Repair Center in Kyoto for 11 years, devoted himself into restoration of national treasures. In terms of both technique and sense, Osone's creation is based on what he has done as a restorer touching and researching the timeless ancient Buddha statues for many years.

Japanese dry lacquer technique statue (kanshitsu-zo) is made by putting a hemp cloth on the original form and solidifying it with Japanese lacquer (urushi) to make an external form, then adjusting the surface with a mixture of wooden powder, "urushi" lacquer and flour (a thick paste called kokuso lacquer), and coloring it, repeating this process again and again. One of the most well-known works made using dry lacquer technique is the Asura statue at Kofuku-ji, which is an Asian-specific technique often used to create Buddha statues during the Nara period (710-784). However, historically, in the Heian period (794-1192), this time-consuming and expensive technique had almost disappeared as a major technique for making Buddha statues, and has never been revived thereafter. However, Osone has revived this technique for making his sculptures.

Osone brings Japanese lacquer technique to portray unique characteristics of animals, and we can feel its texture, temperature, moisture, and even a touch of flesh. Osone uses two types of dry lacquer technique depending on the motifs that he wants to make. One is the hollow dry lacquer method (dakkatsu kanshitsu)* and the other is the wood-core dry lacquer method (mokushin kanshitsu)**. * The hollow dry lacquer method: putting layers of hemp soaked with lacquer on a rough core of clay, and then removing the core. A wooden frame reinforces the statue inside to prevent warping. ** The wood-core dry lacquer method: carving the basic shape of the statue from wood. Kokuso lacquer is common for both methods to make details for finishing. His works are more than realistic. We even unexpectedly realize the strong presence and characteristics of each animal.

The 4 new works to be shown are all made using wooden-core dry lacquer. Osone repeatedly visited places to see the models, which are all existing animals, such as a mini-pig, "Chaco" and a Holstein "Kokkou ". So many wordless meetings with the animals enabled him to achieve these remarkably beautiful sculptures. Their facial expressions and poses are unexpected for viewers, because they are totally different from typical images which we see in illustrated books. By introducing 8 works, including 4 new works, the exhibition aims to showcase a world of dry lacquer sculptures as portraits of animals with their own unique names. We do hope you find the opportunity to see and enjoy them.
