Event
“Poetry and Sound and Picture and”
Date: June 22nd (Sat)
Time: 4pm - ※Reservation required
Special live event with a performance by accordion player Yocci × poetry recitation by Ben Oga

An original song created by Yocci based on the poetry and picture book “Universe of the heart”, will be performed for the first time ever.
※The poetry and picture book is available for purchase at Mizoe Art Gallery.

A sky full of stars, and within those stars live humans and animals. Existing there are skies, grounds, and nature, just like on earth. This is a story woven by Ben Oga, of a star in a distant universe. In the postscript to his newly published poem and picture book, “The Universe of the Heart,” Ben Oga says, “People's hearts are an endless universe, a universe which is interconnected with everything else”. Although a world of imagination, that of Ben Oga’s work evokes a sense of nostalgia. Humans, the world, may be connected to an endless universe, by a thread that is invisible to us. It gives me such a feeling, something akin to hope. Please come and see the exhibition.

Nami Shibata Exhibition "Shadows and 凹凸"
May 18 (Sat) – June 2 (Sun) 2024
10:00am-6:00pm (Open every day during the event)
Venue: MIZOE ART GALLERY FUKUOKA
The artist will be at the gallery on May 18,19, 20, and June 1,2

Since her last solo exhibition "resolution", Shibata has been painting portraits. The figures depicted in her paintings, although certainly in the form of a human, are not quite that of flesh and blood.
This is because, for Shibata, the act of painting is not an attempt to depict the subject itself, but to create "images and textures" from the accumulation of oil paint and brushstrokes.
In Shibata's hands, fictional characters from the world of theater, film, and fairy tales are stripped of any associated imagery and exist only as material paintings, like "dolls" on a small canvas or "shadows" on a large one.
For this exhibition, Shibata attempted portrait paintings of a new and larger scale. Stood before the "shadow" on the large canvas, we invite you to feel the colors, shapes, and unevenness of paint, as well as the artist's breath and brush strokes.
We sincerely look forward to you visiting our gallery.
Mizoe Art Gallery, Kazunobu Abe

-A Happiness to Return to-
People have always lived in pursuit of happiness.
Recently, I have been interested in the minds of people from the Jomon era, who stood on the earth, face to face with nature, living for more than 10,000 years without conflict. I feel we can relate to what they found beautiful. The people of the Jomon era created on the soil, but I paint on a canvas, starting from the soil.
Why do people create? Why do people paint? What makes people happy?
At the foot of it all is soil, which is why I paint from the soil. I believe, upon the continuation of this process, the essence of what is naturally there will sprout.
- Kenpei Yunde

In his paintings, Kenpei Yunde continues to pursue the expression of happiness. Through Yunde's paintings, people are made aware of the essentials that we all possess and are moved by them. This applies no matter the country, and we have been scattering the seeds of happiness little by little all over the world with Yunde's paintings. Through sharing the perspective and work of an artist who lives in the present, we hope as many people as possible can feel a slice of this happiness
- Kazunobu Abe, Mizoe Art Gallery

Satoru Jogasaki Exhibition "Message of color"
Apr. 6(Sat) - Apr. 21(Sun), 2024
10:00am-6:00pm (Open every day during the event)
The Artist will be at the gallery on April 6 and 7
Venue: MIZOE ART GALLERY FUKUOKA


“The star of this exhibition is ‘color’”, says Mr. Satoru Jogasaki.

The colors and forms in the calm of daily life, the relationship between objects, and the echoes formed as it all interweaves. Until now, this was the artistic language chosen to address and pose questions to the viewer.

The artworks in this exhibition were created with a paint brush in hand, and a hope that “color” will stand by and support the viewer in overcoming sadness and anxiety.

Please enjoy the world of Satoru Jogazaki, filled with poetic sentiment and tenderness.
