A long-term Japanese art exhibition will be held in the gallery district Chelsea

A solo exhibition in New York as part of the Japan-US cultural exchange project “Japan Move (Japan Move),” which is now in its 5th year. In 2019, solo exhibitions by 7 unique artists, such as sculpture, drawing, ink art, watercolor, Japanese painting, calligraphy, etc. were held from 8/6 (Tue) to 30 (Fri).
The venue was located in the center of the Chelsea district, which is the number one art spot in New YorkGeorge Billis Gallery (George Billis Gallery). The Chelsea area is a very popular tourist spot dotted with places such as the Chelsea Hotel, which is famous for famous artists, musicians, and writers where famous artists, musicians, and writers like to stay, the Whitney Museum of Art, known for its extensive collection of modern and contemporary American art works, and the High Line, a hanging garden built on the site of an elevated railway. As one of the world's leading art districts, it is constantly bustling with many tourists.

Acquire regular fans of Japan Art through regular events!

This exhibition, which has garnered a fixed fan following the past 4 sessions, is characterized by a large number of repeat visitors, and enthusiastic Japanese art fans, such as art-loving New Yorkers who visited as part of a gallery tour, and students from nearby art colleges. There are so many visitors throughout the entire exhibition period, and they are all people who have a passion for art, such as actively asking questions to artists and spelling out lots of comments on questionnaires set up at the venue. Due to the magnitude of the response and high level of interest in New Yorkers' work, there are also voices from artists who have had a very satisfying experience.

As a promotional activity, exhibition information is a local medium for Japanese people”NY JapionIn addition to being published in”, he is a gallery ownerGeorge's SNSHowever, photos of each exhibition period were uploaded, which led to a large number of visitors.

In particular, the sculpture exhibited during the first exhibition was the largest in terms of size and weight among the works we have exhibited in the past, and visitors spoke in an excited manner, saying “it was a masterpiece.”

Following the exhibition of drawing works created by drawing astonishing lines, which was held at the same time, an exhibition of ink art, which combines calligraphy and painting with a unique modern feel, was reserved on the floor, conveying the appeal of a wide variety of Japanese art.

Art professionals, artists, designers, and art collectors, including contemporary art journalist/director Fran Kaufman, visited the venue, and passionate art discussions were exchanged.

In the next 3rd session, an exhibition of watercolors and Japanese paintings by two female artists will be held. Watercolor paintings depicting a harmonious worldview where the use of soft colors and beautiful, detailed cloth patterns are woven, and a new sense of Japanese painting that skillfully uses gold and silver with sharp, dynamic compositions were exhibited.

In the final 4th session, there was an exhibition of calligraphy works acknowledging famous phrases by poets and poets from the past and present, and an exhibition of watercolor paintings carefully depicting the artist's own hometown landscape.

Throughout the entire exhibition, as artists pursue individual expressions, I think the theme was presented as if they were looking back at the origin of Japanese people naturally. Dexterity with hands, high technical ability, a fresh sensibility that transcends the differences between the past and present, east and west, and combines everything, and a sense of beauty nurtured by the Japanese climate. I'm sure many senses were conveyed to the people of New York through the work.

Our corporation will continue to actively hold solo and group exhibitions around the world, and will continue to focus on further disseminating Japanese culture and promoting outstanding Japanese artists.
Please stay tuned for future developments!
