To reconsider
the modern art in the midst of somewhat chaotic current Japanese
art scene, some exhibitions focusing on European art are held at
the museum in 2010 inviting German artists.
In this exhibition, we are speculating future of Japanese modern
art through works of the most promising artist, Kazuhiro Nomura.
Nomura studied at Kunstakademie Dusseldorf and continues creation
of modern art.
Nomura has visualized his idea through various media such as paintings,
objets and video pictures. This exhibition mainly introduces his
"tableau works", which is considered to be an origin of
many of his works. |
Over 400 tableau
works have been created since his years in Germany.
In seemingly all-white canvas, non-existent plants created from
an inspiration are drawn with dots of five colors (621 of red, black,
yellow, orange and green dots), of which trunk has simplified fruits
of three kinds (tomato, lemon and orange) in an ordered manner.
In the plants drawn in the tableau works have elements that are
unchanged and elements that are intentionally changed and make individual
works different. This seems to represent actual plants having two
properties: inheriting species based on genetic information; and
having possibility of changing to new species. In addition, expression
of difference (presence of individual) in these tableau works suggests
entirety of an enormous amount of works. Over 400 tableau works
