Currently, at Megumi Ogita Gallery, Yukako Sorai's solo exhibition "Archaelque" is being held.
Megumi Ogita Gallery is a quiet and calm gallery located on the first basement floor of the Ginza Otsuka Building 2-16-12 Ginza.
It's the place in red on the map
below.
The event will be held from Friday, July 13 to July 28 (Sat), with days, Mondays and public holidays.
Opening hours are from 11:00 to 19:00.
When I visited this exhibition, I am surprised that the material of the work is felt.
Is it more accurate to say that you are surprised by the amazing processing (technique) of the felt, rather than being surprised by the felt?
Mr. Sorai has been fascinated by the fun of the animal movement of wool since he was a student, and has been producing works with felt.
After layering and thickening the felt, the colors and shapes lurking in the back are revealed by hand, drilling holes, taking advantage of the regularity and distortion of the cross section, and making use of the color and shape hidden in the back.
The works on display are those that seem to be motifs of pots and pots around us, those that make you feel life like plants and cells, and those that make you feel the spread of the universe, etc. It is expressed by the sensitivity of Sorai.
This is 
an uplift of the work above.
They are on display at the venue and make you feel a mysterious presence.
Indeed, it seemed that Sorai's view of the world (the view of space) was expressed by felt and fiber, and I was overwhelmed that it was amazing.
With regard 
to photography in the gallery, I received your consent, and I heard from the person himself about his passion for the technique in the production process and felt as a means of expression.
Thank you very much
