In order to visually express the relationship between the mirrors between the plates and the prints, this exhibition plan uses a room with multiple mirrors. By using the famous paintings that everyone knows as a motif and using the face as a mirror, we want everyone to experience the journey of "losing oneself and finding oneself in other companies" over many layers. With this concept, I would like to keep the idea that the self can exist only in relation to others in the traces of prints and prints. *Reference image

Gallery Information
Kyoto Artzone Kaguraoka
Since opening a gallery on the hillside of Mt. Yoshida overlooking Mt. Daimonji in Sakyo-ku, Kyoto in 2003, we have consistently introduced prints. We introduce a wide range of printmakers, from young to mid-career and even veteran. For example, Asuka Irie, Kurumi Wakagi, Shoji Miyamoto, Ryo Nishimura, Kanako Watanabe, Ayaka Yamada, and specialists such as Yoshio Imamura and Kiyozumi Yamashita. There are various types of prints, and it is necessary to master the technique and have the artist's own imagination. Printmaking techniques are also actively adopted by contemporary artists (for example, Lee U-Fan) to present fresh works. I would like to continue to feature artists who make full use of printmaking techniques to create creative and attractive works in this way. In addition, our shop is an art gallery with two atriums on the first basement floor, and there is a glass-walled storage room hanging from the ceiling in the center of the building, so please stop by and see the works in the collection.
