Our upcoming exhibition will be a solo show by FUKAYA
Etsuko, titled ‘Natsumegiku (Jujube tree- chrysanthemum)’, which
will open on 9/9 (Sat.).
FUKAYA was born in 1981 and is currently enrolled as a graduate
student in Tokyo Art University’s printmaking department. This will
be her first solo show.
FUKAYA's work's detail and precision are of magnifying-glass caliber,
which she produces using the high fidelity medium of etching. She
delves into etching's technical possibilities and imbues the sheet
with thin lines, creating physically small but grandiose spectacles.
The animals, fish, insects and plants
she depicts are treated in a way that draws out their fantastic
and fairytale-like aspects, while also depicting the cold radiance
of indifference that much of nature appears to have towards man.
Her ability to perceive and visually articulate these qualities
makes her a rare seer and artist. |
