EXHIBITION

  • DMOARTS in artTNZ

    2020. 9. 17 Thu. - 2020. 9. 21 Mon.

    September 17 by invitation only

    DMOARTS will exhibit at "artTNZ", an art fair to be held at TERRADA ART COMPLEX II in Tennozu, Tokyo. DMOARTS will introduce two artists, Kurumi Kotani and Ryoki Kurasaki.
    Kurumi Kotani's "21g," a group of works, is said to be the weight of the soul, alluding to the supernatural without directly depicting it by suggesting what once existed. Ryoki Kurasaki uses flames as a symbol of life and death, and in "Traces of the soul," the intense burning reminds us of finite life and what remains.
    The venue will be open by reservation only, so please make a reservation in advance and come as much as you can afford.

    [Artists]
    Kurumi Kotani
    Born in 1994, he will complete his master's degree in Painting at Kyoto University of Art and Design in 2019.
    He creates paintings on the theme of relationships, signs, and traces of existence. In her signature series of paintings, "21g," the entire screen is conceived as a "window," leaving traces of someone's touch on the condensed surface of the glass. Her interest in mystical or supernatural phenomena makes her paintings reminiscent of scenes from horror movies, bringing to the surface the presence of an invisible and uncertain entity.

    Ryoki Kurasaki
    Born in Fukuoka, Japan in 1995, he graduated from Kyushu Designer Gakuin in 2016.
    Kurasaki attempts to pursue the reality of his motifs by burning the parts of his oil portraits that used to be the eyes. The phenomena and materials generated by the flames as a metaphor for life, the exposed space, and the structure of the canvas itself are important components of his work.
