In this exhibition “Forgotten Water”, One piece on display from the unreleased new series “Eskies for not drawing” In addition to Inoue’s most famous works, “Sufu,” a series in which he creates graph paper-like images by repeatedly drawing straight lines, and “Drawings for the front and back,” in which embroidered lines go back and forth between the front and back sides of the paper. ” will be exhibited. The title of this exhibition, “forgotten water,” is a beautiful expression used in classical Japanese literature and waka poetry, and is often used as a prelude to other words or concepts. The word “extinct” is often used to express water that flows in small gaps. “When the mogura of my inn lies below the forgotten water, the fireflies come flying” As in a poem by Kinoshita Yukifumi, a poet of the late Edo period, the word “firefly” refers to the flow of water that flows unnoticed, and the beautiful relationship between nature conveys the sense of the presence of something invisible to the naked eye. It has been used. Exploring the fundamental problem in painting of “drawing a line,” approaching paintings with the paradoxical mindset of “drawing something that is nothing,” and exploring the possibilities and essence of painting. The “lines” that Inoue draws are just like “forgotten water” brought to light by “fireflies.” Please take this opportunity to take a look.

The difference that arises unintentionally is that in a world where digitalization is progressing and we are required to create “1” from “0”, there is an “infinity” between “0” and “1”. It makes you realize something. ◼️Inquiries regarding press releases KOTARO NUKAGA PR: Mirai Matsunaga Email: matsunaga@kotaronukaga.com / info@kotaronukaga.com Mobile：070-3350-5109 URL:
