Please enjoy the chat with the artist.
He will also read aloud his original poem with music.

It has been almost ten years since I saw the artworks by Oga last introduced by a gallery. I was strongly fascinated and after that, I saw his artworks at many places I visited and became acquainted with the artist himself. It may have meant to happen, and the timing is now. We agreed to hold his first solo exhibition at Mizoe Art Gallery.

His imagined landscape appears like the world of a fairy tale at a glance although the sorrow of human being and melancholic elements are hidden. The sophisticated colors are created by adding lots of layers of paint like textiles. You will be immersed in the world of artworks full of poetical sentiment created by Fumihiro Oga.
