Takashi YATOJI Exhibition「Where are you going?」
February 8th (Sat) - February 24th (Mon), 2025
Open every day during the exhibition period 10am-6pm
Venue: Mizoe Art Gallery, Fukuoka

Takashi Yatoji depicts the ordinary world around us. Plants, landscapes, and groups of people, things we catch sight of frequently and unconsciously, sooner or later become the subject of his paintings. After repeated drawings and with the lines as the base, he turns what he sees into paintings using various materials and techniques. Lines that are tense, momentary and moving, born through conflict, and independent. These overlap, accompanied by space and color, to expand the painting into two, three dimensions. We hope you will enjoy the world of Takashi Yatoji's paintings.

TAKESHI Wei Exhibition「Uneasiness」
February 1st (sat) - February 16th (sun), 2025
Open every day during the exhibition period 10am-6pm
Venue: Mizoe Art Gallery,Tokyo

From 2019 to 2022, Takeshi Wei worked on, and completed, a ceiling painting for the Saieizan Kozan Temple, located deep in the mountains of Bungo Takada. His new work, a large folding screen entitled “Under the Cherry Blossom Tree,” which he suspended all other activities to create, evokes the sense of all things being in a constant state of flux. When asked if this is a culmination of his artistic career, he says it is, in fact, a new departure point. In addition to sculptures made from driftwood and scrap wood, his recent wild-fired ceramic works, created in Itoshima, remind viewers of the strength that resides in ordinary objects that might otherwise be overlooked. We invite you to visit the exhibition, which will be his first in seven years, to witness the new world of Takeshi Wei.
