Tamie Okuyama has been depicting the mysteries of nature and life using motifs of the sun, clouds, sea, and mountains. In this exhibition, flowers appear on the canvas for the first time in a while. Flowers interact with insects and change their form depending its type. Okuyama is fascinated by the still-unresolved mysteries of the evolution and ecology of flowers. Okuyama, who believes that everything spanning from microorganisms to the stars of the universe, including humans, are all part of a single cosmic continuum of life, extends his imagination to the world beyond our galaxy. The blooming flowers in his new work "Pink Sky" form a landscape full of life on a planet yet to be seen. This is the first solo exhibition of Okuyama's work held in Japan in four years. Please enjoy the world of works created from the eyes of Tamie Okuyama.
