CWAJ Associate Show
September 20-October 17

 

Ahead of the annual CWAJ (College Women's Association of Japan) Print Show at the Club in mid-October, this year's Associate Show, "In Search of Serenity," features two artists whose visions are especially worthy of attention.

Yoshiaki Mokutani's works are like the open pages of a book. Coupling each time two prints that capture the same image-the polychrome version on the left side and its stylized monochrome version on the right-his prints allow the viewer to travel through time and space.
"I try to form a space that is produced by going back and forth between these two opposite images," explains the 30-year-old Shizuoka Prefecture native.
Tokyo-born Toshinori Tanuma invites the
observer on a meditative journey. His monochrome prints are printed on handmade gampi paper. He creates a rich, textured surface through a variety of techniques and with a subtle color scheme achieves a strong, harmonious ensemble.
"My work evolves around a story and lyrics. I invent and tell a story and invite the viewer to join me and interpret it with his own imagination," says Tanuma, 24. "I hope to create a work of art that allows for the viewer's mind to wander freely."

Ries and Takagi are coordinators of the CWAJ Associate Show.
