We hold a solo exhibition of Kikuma Mochizuki who is a metal sculptor creating a number of public art all over Japan. This time, we display artworks related to the three main artworks including the first artwork of “Destruction Series”, a work that was named by a Journalist at that time and became the starting point for him to get into the world of art, “META-SHOCK” 1971, the final work of MFA course at Tokyo University of the Arts which was awarded Salon de Printemps prize and received a favorable reputation in the foreign exhibition of Japan Art Festival, and also the latest artwork “Shine Link” 2020 that was developed from recent "Awakening Device Series".
The exhibition is comprised of about 50 artworks such as flat artworks in which pictorial elements are emphasized over time as a continuum of Metal Drawing Series that was started to express the concept of “Destruction Series”,
sculptural and flat works that reflect his recent freewheeling situation without restraints “as he pleases”, the trophy of "Tamori Cup" which was discontinued later. We would be grateful if you see - Past and Present - the path of the art of Kikuma Mochizuki over half of a century.
