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.

-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

“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.

Yoko MITSUYUKI Exhibition
March 2nd (Sat) - March 17th (Sun), 2024
Opening hours:10:00-18:00 (open everyday during the fair period)
Venue: MIZOE ART GALLERY FUKUOKA
Gallery Talk
Date & Time: March 2nd,Starts at 14:00, on the first day of the exhibition
*Reservations required
*A small get-together will be held after the event.
A deep "blue" with a sense of translucent coolness. Through colors and shapes, Yoko Mitsuyuki expresses, abstractly, the impressions and images that accumulate from her own experiences.
The poetic sentiment and climate of her hometown, Yanagawa. The feel of the water, the sparkling light, the green of the trees and the gentle breeze. Or, the colorful skyscrapers of Manhattan and the echoes from the hustle and bustle in the streets of New York, a city she has visited numerous times.
From these experiences, and with prayer for peace after the 9/11 attacks, she began to paint symmetrical compositions.
With the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the restrictions on social outings that followed, the artist spent more time experiencing the natural scenery of her neighborhood. This allowed her to gain a renewed appreciation for the preciousness of nature, leading her to create works inspired by the sky, clouds, water, light, rivers, and the earth.
Reaching the age of 77, with a paintbrush in hand since junior high school, Yoko Mitsuyuki asks herself, "What do I really want to paint right now?
Please do come see her works.

Yoshio Yoshimura Exhibition

10:00am-6:00pm (Open every day during the event)
Venue MIZOE ART GALLERY TOKYO
Happy New Year to all. We look forward to your continued good will in the coming year.
Yoshio Yoshimura attracted much attention in the world of contemporary art after winning the Grand Prize at the Yamaguchi Prefectural Art Exhibition in 2007. However, just as his future success was being anticipated, he suddenly passed away at the age of 63. I still wonder what kind of future would have awaited him and Mizoe Art Gallery, had Mr. Yoshimura still been alive.
The traveling exhibition "Yoshio Yoshimura: Beyond Super Realism", which began in November 2018 at Tokyo Station Gallery, was originally planned to exhibit at 4 venues, but eventually reached 11, making it an unusually long run as it continuously impressed.
Words such as “realism”, “hyper-realism”, “miniature painting”, and “superlative-technique” all seem inadequate, if not clichéd, when it comes to describing Yoshio Yoshimura's works and skill, which go beyond what we imagine possible.
This exhibition will feature small colored-pencil drawings of flowers alongside a series of self-portraits on newspapers drawn in Paris, as well as prints and other works from his early years. We sincerely look forward to seeing you at the gallery.
