    In Corona, Alan also thought about it. In a world of self-restraint, I want people to look at themselves and feel a sense of being alive by depicting the transitions in people's hearts and the expressions on their faces at a moment's notice. Art is a means. I want to entertain viewers in every possible way, without sticking to any particular style of expression. This exhibition is filled with Alain's past and challenges. Yes! This is Alain's new journey.

    We are pleased to present an exhibition by alan, a well-known artist in UNKNOWN ASIA. In the midst of the Corona Disaster, he has been reexamining his own methods of expression and involvement in art, and this exhibition will allow visitors to appreciate both his best works to date and his new approaches. The exhibition will feature a wide variety of his work, from his iconic large pop art pieces to new works, early sketches, and affordable limited edition prints.

  • Hiroshi Morinaga Illustration Exhibition “The Age of Masks 2020”

    2020-12-15 16:00

    Just as Hokusai recorded the customs of Edo in his "Hokusai Manga," only painting can realistically record the unprecedented society that is now covered in masks. That is why he went out on the town, to Mt. Koya and to a remote island far to the south, and drew 1,000 mask paintings. 1000 paintings at once are now on view. Astonishment at a glance. It wouldn't be art without artistic surprise!(Morinaga Hiroshi)


    From morning till night, we pass by only masked faces. We have become accustomed to seeing masked people in our daily lives due to the spread of the new coronavirus, but if you look closely, you will see that they are also wearing masks of various kinds. Hiroshi Morinaga, 70, a writer and editor, draws masked people every day, saying, "I want to leave them behind as a record of customs and manners in 2020. His goal was to create 1,000 masked people in 1,000 different styles. The exhibition will be held as a fitting conclusion to the year 2020, with the paintings filling the entire exhibition hall. 2F of THE STORIES will concurrently host another series of Morinaga's paintings, "Senju-ga Exhibition". A total of 2,000 works will be on display, making for a powerful exhibition. Naoki Tachikawa will participate in the music selection for the background music at the venue.



    [Artist]
    Hiroshi Morinaga
    Born in 1950, became an editor in 1970. He launched "For Life Magazine" with Keiichi Tanaami as AD, and "Monthly Novel King" with Hiroshi Aramata's "Teito Monogatari" as serial.
    He made his debut as a writer in 1986 with "Harajuku Gold Rush. Since then, he has published Island Trip Notebook and trilogy "Dropout no Erai Hito", his autobiography "What I Dreamed of When I Wandered Down That Alley Has Almost Come True", and "Stranger Than Illusion", co-authored with Keiichi Tanaami, and many other books. Currently, he is the personality of FM COCOLO's "Radio Shangri-La" with Naoki Tachikawa. His latest work is "Yamazaki Masayuki Gyokuon Houdan Tenjo Tenge Tenge Yada Dokuro" (Yamazaki Masayuki Gyokuon Houdan: Tenjo Tenge Yada Dokuro).

    Hiroshi Morinaga Illustration Exhibition
    「The Age of Masks 2020」
    December 18 (Fri.)-27 (Sun.), 2020 Friday, Saturday and Sunday each week from 13:00 to 19:00
    Venue: THE STORIES, Nakazaki-cho, 1-7-13 Nakazakinishi, Kita-ku, Osaka 530-0015, Japan


    On Friday, December 18, during Hiroshi Morinaga's presence at the gallery, we will paint you in a mask.

    ----------------------------------------------

    A long time ago, I decided to take a ride in a small Cessna with a capacity of nine passengers from an airfield where strong winds were blowing in early spring. The passenger was Mr. Morinaga, who at the time was producing all aspects of Gonchichi promotions. When I sat down in my seat, feeling uneasy, Mr. Morinaga, who was in the seat in front of me, said with a smile, "It's survival, isn't it?
    Hiroshi Morinaga" is a subatomic particle that exists only at the tip of the leading edge. So we must watch the masks and hands drawn by elementary particles at the tip of this age of true survival.

    Gonzalez, Mikami

    ----------------------------------------------

    Mr. Morinaga sensitively captures interesting things that no one else notices, and teaches them to us in a gentle way.
    I didn't realize you had such talent as well! Thank you for always surprising me.

    Chichi Matsumura

    ----------------------------------------------

    There is no such thing as a normal day. With Mr. Morinaga, even the gloomy, lightly overcast skies are not a surprise.
    It seems like the entrance to a galaxy leading to an endless universe.
    There is no such thing as a boring day. When we walk, a strange reality invites us into its labyrinth.
    Humorous and frightening masked humans, you see, beckon.
    Welcome to the future. And.

    Tomoyasu Hotei

    ----------------------------------------------

    Congratulations on your solo exhibition, Mr. Morinaga.
    They were sending me picture diaries on a daily basis.
    Where does he get the vitality to continue painting without slowing down at all in the midst of this year? I'm going to find out.
    I am always reassured by the presence of the yankee ojisama.
    Please have a drink when you settle down again.

    Kazuyoshi Saito

    ----------------------------------------------

    Mr. Morinaga is a flexible person.
    And he is animalistic, intuitive, and hedonistic.
    The overwhelming mass of text and pictures is, after all, overwhelmingly laconic, but
    When I actually met him, he is by far the best listener.
    It's overwhelmingly thoughtful, yet instinctive.

    YO-KING(Magokoro Brothers)

    ----------------------------------------------

    Mr. N. described "me and M' as a psychedelic Simon & Garfunkel."
    M''s partner of 50 years, M's natural high has recently become more and more polished, and from the first time he showed me his latest mask painting, I thought it was very typical.
    I hope you will enjoy the unique artistic world of 'M' with a natural feeling.

    Naoki Tachikawa

    ----------------------------------------------

    「A Breath of the Times.」

    When I was a child, my Japanese teacher told me, "Just write what you see. You don't have to try to write well. I understood what he meant by not trying to write well, but I thought that if I could write as I saw it, I would have no trouble, and that it would be difficult, so I would have to think a lot.

    Now, Hiroshi Morinaga's "The Age Of Mask 2020" reminds me of the phrase "write what you see. There is nothing interesting about writing "as you see it. Through Mr. Morinaga's eyes, the instantaneous memory falls on the paper. The book is filled with Morinaga's viewpoints and thoughts. The works, created by a psychoanalyst-like paintbrush, irresistibly stimulate the viewer's desire to feel the true feelings hidden beneath the mask.

    Takeshi Kadokami

    ----------------------------------------------

    It is a prophetic book to an unknown path.
    I think you are a person who sees. No, perhaps the correct expression is "a person who sees.
    Whether it is a book, film, or photograph, Hiroshi Morinaga sees not only what is present in the text, video, or image, but also what is entrusted behind the scenes. And then he transmits it. With the cold fervor of a bard, he does so in a simple, unaffected manner.
    Mr. Morinaga painted a thousand people wearing masks, which suddenly changed the landscape in the year 2020. We have become accustomed to seeing them over time. What did Mr. Morinaga see, what awed him, and what did he hope for in his brushstrokes? This exhibition, "The Age Of Mask 2020," is a record of his soul.
    A crowd of masks covered Japan. It is like a pilgrimage of masks. Where are we headed? Is there really a Mecca? And if so, where? After seeing "The Age Of Mask 2020" exhibition, the scenery of the city you see on your way to and from the exhibition will be completely different. Perhaps it is in these differences and discrepancies that Mr. Morinaga was looking at. Because excellent art is always a prophecy book for an unknown road.

    Nishibayashi Hatsuaki

    ----------------------------------------------

    An uncle is the biggest taboo in the Morinaga family. It was when I was over 20 years old that I learned that I had an uncle. My grandfather once told me that Hiroshi lived his life breathing different air from others. In the year 2020, all people were forced to wear masks over their mouths and noses and forbidden the freedom to breathe the same air as everyone else. In this landscape where everyone feels suffocated, my uncle found freedom alone. He does not try to depict freedom by cutting holes or tearing off the mask that blocks his mouth and nose. By carefully and painstakingly depicting this landscape, the artist teaches us to open a hole in the suffocating landscape, to create a rift, and to breathe different air from others.

  • ART OSAKA WALL by APCA

    2020-12-04 18:00

    ART OSAKA WALL by APCA", a spin-off project of the art fair "ART OSAKA" which was canceled due to the new coronavirus, will be held at the "Yamakawa Building" located in Sonezaki, Osaka, where DMOARTS will also exhibit. ART OSAKA" has the longest history among the ongoing art fairs in Japan, and has been a hotel-type art fair specializing in contemporary art, but for this fair, it will step out of the hotel and take place in the "Yamakawa Building," which is located near the old gallery district of Nishitenma, not far from the old Omatsuchocho, where the entire floor will be used as exhibition space. From DMOARTS, we will introduce three artists, Saki Matsumura, Takuro Tamura, and HIN. We hope you will enjoy the exhibition at the end of the year.



    [Artists]
    Saki Matsumura
    Born in Nagano, Japan in 1993, he completed his master's degree in painting at Kyoto University of Art and Design, Department of Fine Arts in 2017. Lives and works in Kyoto. Exhibits mainly in the Kansai region. In recent years, also does commission work, such as installing works in offices.
    He attempts to visualize abstract concepts through acrylic paintings, silkscreens, and other painting works with complex layers and a three-dimensional feel. The works create the illusion of a relationship between the ground and the figure, and the sprayed matiere emphasizes the unevenness of the surface, creating a cognitive gap between the viewer's perception and the reality of the work.

    Takuro Tamura
    Born in 1989 in Osaka, Japan, he graduated from Kyoto University of Art and Design, Integrated Arts Course in 2016. Currently based in Kyoto.
    By creating works from different angles of things that most people have a common perception of or are unconscious of, he aims to create expressions that affect the viewer's daily life, for better or for worse.

    HIN
    Born in Chiba, Japan in 1990, he graduated from Tama Art University's Department of Graphic Design in 2014.
    By using pixel representation as an "abstraction of information," the artist attempts to antidote information overload and expresses a sensual and relaxed world.
    He has held live painting events at "Livepainting" (OIL by Bijutsu Techo, Tokyo, 2020) as well as solo exhibitions at "Virtual Wall" (Curiosity Small Room 2 by H.P.FRANCE, Osaka, 2019). Y gion x Yoshimoto Art" (Y gion, Kyoto, 2019) and "Aki Tsukamoto x HIN" (Void, Tokyo, 2019), as well as group exhibitions in Tokyo, Shanghai and other cities.

    DMOARTS is pleased to present "there-was", a two-person exhibition by Ryoki Kurasaki and Kurumi Kotani. This exhibition focuses on "traces" and "signs" - things that were there - "there-was", a concept shared by both artists of the same generation.



    Ryoki Kurasaki
    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 flame as a metaphor for life, the exposed space, and the structure of the canvas itself are important components of his work. In this exhibition, he will also present a new series of frames, whose shapes are copied with wax and melted by the flames, framing landscapes that remind us of the original landscapes we all have in our minds.

    Kotani mainly exhibits paintings based on the theme of time, traces, and presence. In this exhibition, Kotani will exhibit his "21g" series, which was inspired by his interest in the occult and horror, and in which the entire screen is supposed to be a "window" with traces of someone touching the condensation on the glass surface, as well as new works from his "Iron Rust" series, which is more important to him because it attempts to reference the marks left on the earth by mankind.

    DMOARTS is pleased to present “there-was,” a duo exhibition of works by Ryoki Kurasaki and Kurumi Kotani. The exhibition focuses on the concept of two contemporaries having in common ‘trace’ or ‘sign’ ― in other words, what ‘there-was.’



    倉崎稜希|Ryoki Kurasaki
    Kurasaki finishes his pieces of work by processing with fire as a metaphor for life. The substances and phenomena̶the exposed space and the transformed medium̶ that occurred by flame are his essential material. The exhibition “there-was” features the brand new series that wax-modeled framed painting melts by fire, as well as the partly burned portraited oil painting on the place where eyes are supposed to be.

    小谷くるみ|Kurumi Kotani
    Kotani presents mainly painting work in the theme of time, trace, sign̶in other words, what there was. The exhibition “there-was” features signature series “21g,” the entire surface is compared as “window,” and on the glass with condensation are traces of someone, and the series “Iron Rust,” which is even more ambitious for the artist.

    Ryoki Kurasaki & Kurumi Kotani collection book "Ryoki Kurasaki / Kurumi Kotani"
    The very first collection book of the two artist from "there-was." Release on November 21, 2020

    Kuroneko Design would like to produce our first book "ALL ABOUT Robin"! Through November 30, 2020
    https://camp-fire.jp/projects/view/335662


    The character "Kuro-Neko Robin-chan" has pointy claws, a snarl, and a cocky, oblique look in his eyes.
    The cute, cool, fashionable, and retro worldview depicted by Kuroneko Design has won the hearts of many fans.


    I want a collection of Kuroko Neko Design's work!"
    I'd love to see a book with plenty of robin-chan in it!"

    This has been a dream that has not been realized, although we have received many requests for it.
    In order to finally produce a collection of works filled with the charms of such a hard-to-follow Robin-chan, Kuroneko Designs has made a bold decision to make it a reality!
    FM802 / FM COCOLO has teamed up with "digmeout", an art project by FM COCOLO, to launch a project to produce a collection of works for the first time!

    The title of the collection is「ALL ABOUT Robin」
    This is a visual book that includes illustrations, a scene from a picture book, a cut used in a calendar, and more, condensing the "Robin-chan" of the past, and can be enjoyed by both core fans and newcomers alike!
    Also, next year in 2021 will mark the 10th anniversary of Kuroneko Design's activities!
    This is sure to be a collection of works worthy of the Memorial Year!

    However, many events and exhibitions have been canceled due to the new coronavirus, and we need the support of Robin-chan fans to publish the book.

    As a return gift, a zine "ALL ABOUT KURONEKO SEISAKUSHO" focusing on the two creators of ROBIN-chan, "KURONEKO SEISAKUSHO", will also be produced!

    Come by and spoil the cute Robin-chan to the fullest♪
    Let's have fun making "ALL ABOUT Robin" together♪
