Exibition Information

For this exhibition, instead of presenting compact "art fair-oriented” works, we have selected three highly promising student artists working on a big scale—two from the Painting Course and one from the Printmaking Course. YAMASHITA Natsumi renders a biomorphic world in a delicate, subtle manner. KONDO Taro acrobatically recombines the fictional world of painting and the world of reality. YAMADA Hikaru develops images from external factors and makes an appeal to the unconscious through woodblock print carving. Our aim is to present a dynamic, high-quality exhibition of works by three artists who aspire to original forms of pictorial expression through their own fresh and distinctive sensibilities.

Gallery Information

In Musashino Art University's Department of Painting, two courses, the Painting Course and the Printmaking Course, are linked in an organic fashion in the lesson structure. The Painting Course is divided into two programs: Course A pursues the possibilities of pictorial art, with a focus on figurative painting; and Course B takes painting as its starting point and incorporates diverse modes of expression, including three-dimensionality and video art. Together with the Printmaking Course, which explores the expressive potential of printing in a creative, enriching environment, and the Painting-Composition Lab, which investigates Western painting traditions from a material perspective, the Painting Course seeks out the possibilities of a variety of grounded expressive forms, producing many outstanding artists each year.
