On the left side of the street leading from Ginza 2-chome, Showa-dori to Kamei Bridge and Tsukiji Police Station, there is a shop of Natural Lawson, and on the first basement floor of the building (Ginza Otsuka Building), there is the gallery "Megumi Ogita Gallery".
Currently, there is an exhibition "Kengo Nakamura Encyclopedia-Focusing on works from the 10's" by contemporary art writer Kengo Nakamura is being held.
Kengo Nakamura is a person who has created unique paintings inspired by motifs familiar to us living in modern society, and when you enter the venue, you will first see a large work made of e-mail e-mail e-facements. You can jump into your eyes.
The theme drawn with Japanese painting materials, such as rock paints, pigments, and Japanese paper, is completely different from Japanese painting's traditional Kachofugetsu, e-mail e-mail emoji, which symbolizes "now", the blowout of manga, and the silhouette of manga characters.
As you approach the work, you can clearly see the deep feel of the rock paint, such as the sandy feeling and the glossing.
"In my creative activities, I value the feeling of" living now ". ・・ ・ Contemporary art also feels a sense of mission as a writer in Nakamura's words, "The work of a writer who lives now ...", and anyway, every work lives "now" It was easy to get close to "I" and it was fun to see.
If you look at the work above, you can see it.
"Kengo Nakamura Encyclopedia-Focusing on works from the 10's" is held from Friday, April 3 to April 25 (Sat).
The opening hours of the Megumi Ogita Gallery are from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm (Sun, Monday, and holidays).
