LURF GALLERY is pleased to present “FEEL,” a solo exhibition of works by Isshin Tanizaki. Tanizaki has previously produced abstract paintings that explore the origins of the world and life through whirlpools, but these paintings originated from his landscape paintings. In this exhibition, the two approaches of landscape and whirlpool intersect, creating a new world of painting that moves back and forth between abstraction and figuration. Tanizaki’s paintings create a variety of colors and shapes through the repetition of swirls to express the world we live in. We become conscious of these phenomena and try to understand the world by attributing meaning, intention, and value to them. However, the swirls themselves, which are their component parts, have no meaning or intention; they simply exist. The world is inherently meaningless, simply there. It is our consciousness that gives it color and value. The same can be said for natural landscapes. Tanizaki questions the relationship between existence as it is and human consciousness, and through vortices and wavelengths, he depicts the importance of pursuing the essence of things. The exhibition will run from Friday, November 7th to Sunday, December 7th, 2025. ■ Exhibition Overview Isshin Tanizaki solo exhibition “FEEL” Period｜Friday, November 7th to Sunday, December 7th, 2025 Venue｜LURF GALLERY 1/2F Time | 11:00 – 19:00 Address | Roob1, 28-13 Sarugakucho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 150-0033 Opening Reception Friday, November 7, 2025 18:00 – 20:00 *No reservation required, free admission *The artist will be in the gallery Inquiries regarding works｜https://lurfgallery.com/pages/contact LURF GALLERY official website | https://lurfgallery.com/

Since the early 2000s, Tanizaki has been presenting natural landscapes created with an accumulation of tiny dots, the origin of which is the swirl. Positioning vortices as the origin of all things in the universe, and by expressing a world of vortices in a minimalist way, he explores the origins of our lives, our everyday world, and the universe, which arise from the movement of energy.

Instagram｜＠isshintanisaki_official *The kanji for “崎” is “tatsusaki” LURF GALLERY LURF Gallery opened in Daikanyama in 2022 with the aim of discovering and showcasing artists who, in their own unique style, sharply express the inner workings hidden in the everyday lives of modern society and proposing a new trend in contemporary art. Interested in modern realism’s exploration of human existence and social reality, as well as the profound spiritual and structural explorations of modern abstraction, we pay respect to the flow of art from modern to contemporary, and shine a light on artists with a sensibility that sensitively captures the signs of the times. We support artists who pursue diverse, essential forms of expression from an international perspective, regardless of nationality or career history. Through these activities, we aim to introduce universal trends in art that reflect contemporary society. Business hours: 11:00-19:00 *Irregular holidays Address: 1F & 2F Roob1, 28-13 Sarugaku-cho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo 150-0033 Access: 5 minutes walk from Daikanyama Station 【GoogleMap】 ■ Website https://lurfgallery.com/ ■ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/lurfgallery/ ■ X
