Japanese artist Koki Morimoto's creative process mirrors the organic growth of plants, a theme vividly reflected in his abstract black and white acrylic paintings. His work, characterized by elegant lines and shapes, evokes the natural world through its seductive curves and textures. While some pieces hint at landscapes or calligraphy, Morimoto's art remains firmly non-representational, inviting viewers to focus on the visual and tactile qualities of his thick, rounded brushstrokes and the interplay of light and dark.
Morimoto's compositions guide the viewer's eye across the canvas, with dark, sinuous forms occasionally accented by pale blues, yellows, and dark browns. These elements create a dynamic visual journey, where bold, thick strokes contrast with thinner lines that reveal the white canvas beneath. This interplay of form and color is akin to a seed sprouting from barren ground, symbolizing growth and transformation.
The Metamorphosis exhibition showcases the work of eighteen diverse artists, each presenting unique perspectives on time, place, and the human condition. The exhibition explores themes of contrast and change, challenging the arbitrary nature of boundaries and highlighting the potential for harmony and mutual transformation.
Artists Include:
