Kiyoshi Yamashita :
Wandering Genius Painter |
| Kiyoshi Yamashita (1922-1971) has been referred to as both a “wandering painter” and “Japan’s Van Gogh.” Beginning with his simple and beautiful torn paper collages ― works which continue to fascinate many viewers ― this exhibition introduces Yamashita’s dramatic life and work through his pen and ink drawings, oil paintings, as well as a variety of other artworks and historical documents such as his diary. On special viewing to the public for this occasion will be Yamashita’s depictions of Nagasaki’s landscape, Nagasaki Trilogy. |

Hidetoshi Nagasawa :
Dove tende aurora |
| Based in Italy, Hidetoshi Nagasawa (1940-) is an internationally active sculptor. In his first full-scale solo exhibition in Japan since the Art Tower Mito exhibition sixteen years ago, approximately twenty of his most representative works ― with a focus on his recent major works ― present Nagasawa's profoundly elemental world. This is a must-see for fans of contemporary art! |
