Takashi YATOJI Exhibition「Where are you going?」

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.
