This is the fourth annual exhibition on the theme of "Landscape". What makes this show different from any landscape exhibitions is the artists' additional view point on landscapes, at which viewers savor the landscape through works of art that are supposed to be sharper views of the daily landscape.

After completing MFA at TAMA Art University, Satoshi UCHIUMI has been continuously presenting his works. UCHIUMI truly appreciates the colors that materials contain and states, "The beauty of painting is the beauty of the materials." Various scales of the works harmonize with spaces and that presents site-specific works.

Hideki Kuwajima is an artist based in OSAKA, who held a solo exhibition with us last month. This time, the series of photographs will not be shown as in the past exhibitions, but the sculptural works will be on view. They are composed of innumerable colorful plastic toys that could be considered sculptural mandalas. Although the artist selects cheap toys as the material, the completed sculptures give an intense impression of stoicism.

Shigeyuki Mizuno is a very popular and charismatic modeler based in Toyota who is an authority on expressing "Broken", and whose desolated stories in the dioramas give a glimpse of new horizons in expressing landscapes.

Graduated from the KANAZAWA College of Art, Motoi YAMAMOTO has been participating not only in the domestic shows but also the shows all over the world. This is the first exhibiiton with us in these 5 years. YAMAMOTO presents his works made of salt, with the theme of "Death of Human". They seem to purify the bond between life and death in our minds, constructing the sauce of vitality.

All the paintings, sculptures, and models present a new vision of ''Landscape''.

The opening party will be held on Friday 6th June from 19:00 onwards and the participating artists will be present at the opening party.
