AND COLLECTION Contemporary Art is pleased to present Sweet Escape, a group exhibition featuring four artists.
Stepping away from everyday life, even for a moment, allows us to see the world from a different perspective.
Through their distinct materials and artistic approaches, Yu Uchida, Akiko Kubo, Seirei, and Mariko Fujita reveal landscapes that lie just beyond the familiar scenes of everyday life.
|
Yu Uchida takes polar bears as his central motif, incorporating reflections on environmental issues and contemporary society into playful and charming sculptural forms. |
 |
| Akiko Kubo depicts urban landscapes she has personally encountered, deliberately rendering them with a sense of ambiguity to evoke feelings of familiarity, nostalgia, and shared memories. |
|
|
Seirei, while rooted in traditional Japanese painting, brings vivid, neon-like colors and a contemporary sensibility into her compositions. |
 |
|
Mariko Fujita filters the emotions and words that emerge in everyday life through her own unique perspective, transforming them into imagery characterized by a distinctive sense of space, timing, and humor. |
 |
Despite their differences in materials and techniques, the four artists share an approach that goes beyond simply reproducing the reality before them. By layering their own memories, perceptions, and imagination, they subtly shift the contours of the familiar world, inviting us to see it anew.
Light and color, memory and presence, reality and imagination. Moving between these boundaries, their works gently transport us beyond the rhythms of everyday life, revealing unexpected dimensions of the world around us.
We invite you to experience your own Sweet Escape in a space where four distinct artistic expressions come together and resonate with one another.
