Yoko Hiramaru has been working on the theme of things that exist even though we cannot see them, such as presence, air, and light.

In this second exhibition at the gallery, titled "breath," Yoko Hiramaru will present an attempt to visually capture something that has no form, like breathing, but which can be felt as a sensation.

 

In recent years, he has used transparent paints to create a sense of depth in his paintings by using a technique in which the colors placed underneath can be seen through the paintings.

Each of his patiently repeated brushstrokes has subtle changes in color, each of which looks like a small, breathing cell.

The paintings are not closed, but rather respond to the space and transcend each other′s territory.

 

Please take this opportunity to view Hiramaru′s new work, where she discusses, "I am creating while being conscious of the impact that paintings have on space."
