Wada Garou Tokyo is pleased to present our latest exhibition of Mugi Nakajima,
luminous dropping

Wada  Garou  is pleased to announce our latest exhibition “luminous dropping” from March 13th.   Mugi     Nakajima’s been producing   energetically   a series named “luminous dropping” in last few years, focusing on materiality and narrativity of a huge drop of acrylic paint. In this exhibition, we select 17 paintings from this series.  

Mugi NAKAJIMA｜Artist
1978   Born in Nagano and raised in Osaka.
2002   Graduated from Kyoto City University of Arts, Faculty of Fine Arts.

He works mainly on the creation  of abstract paintings, taking in events that extend from there. Through the activities, he wants himself to be a "medium" that is free from everything  and can be connected to anything.

Nakajima considers "movement, depth and light"  as the
fundamental elements of the painting. He expresses three elements in his series "luminous dropping". A large amount of paint slowly poured keeps the fluidity even after it  dried  on the canvas and it expresses various colors accompanied with delicate differences. Space is born within the layer of paint and the work wears light. Through his  act of painting, he expects that beauty (sometimes controversially) will become a common language and art will become a medium that enables him to connect with the general society. He believes this is  the next development and purpose of painting.
​
​We are having an Opening Reception on March 14th, 18:00-.
Mugi Nakajima will be there! Please feel free to join us for the celebration of this exhibition!

​MITSURU TAKEYA
at Mizuma, Kips & Wada Art 

2019.11.6-12.1

Mizuma, Kips & Wada Art is pleased to present our latest exhibition of Mitsuru Takeya. 

Mitsuru Takeya was born in Toyama prefecture, Japan in 1980. He began his painting career when he was in early 20s, moved by the sudden urge to paint. Many works are created ever since.   His first solo exhibition was held in Tokyo (2009). Massive amount of drawings that covered the whole gallery wall stunned the viewers with its sheer volume and strength.   Many living creatures--monsters, human beings, plants, and many more—are drawn in the ways that remind us of a scene from childhood stories. What he evokes in the viewers through these paintings continues to capture adoring attention from people across the world and he has been reviewed positively at the overseas art fairs.  

We are excited to exhibit Takeya’s impressive line of works in this exhibition. Please enjoy diving into his portrayal of the world where horror and adorably comical aspects uniquely and fantastically coexist.     We are looking forward to see you here.

​Wada Garou Tokyo presents
YUGO MABE PAINTING

Yugo Mabe was born in 1955 at San Paulo, as a third son of the renowned Brazilian artist, Manabu Mabe. Greatly influenced by his father’s working process, Yugo decided to become an artist under his father’s tutelage, despite having studied commercial advertising in college. Since then, having father as a mentor and a strict critic, he successfully held his first solo exhibition in 1980 at San Paulo and has been exhibiting his works ever since.  

The motif of his early works was mainly flowers but it gradually transitioned into the portrayal of landscapes and sceneries. As Yugo himself admits, his works are deeply influenced by his father, who is often referred to as the “magician of color.” However, in order to establish his own career as an artist, Yugo began to consciously distance himself from his father’s style and started to search for his own expression.  

​This exhibition at Wada Garou Tokyo mainly consists of his landscape paintings. The harmony between his bold use of color and nuanced brushwork will surely invite viewers to a fantastic world created by Yugo.  We are looking forward to seeing you here.​

 Renoir, Chagall, Foujita​

We are delighted to announce our latest exhibition "Renoir, Chagall, Foujita" happening at Wada Garou Tokyo. This exhibition will feature on the works of three representational French artists with entirely different background.

Auguste Renoir led the 19th century impressionism along with Claude Monet, and has contributed largely to the development of the arts. His dedication is not merely artistic, but also historically significant.
We will also feature Marc Chagall and Leonard Foujita, who also studied at Ecole de Paris and flourished during this era. Chagall  devoted his life and love to his wife Bella, which became his motive for creation. On the other hand, while Foujita adored the French style, he incorporated Japanese painting style into his work to establish an entirely new form of painting.

Please do not miss this amazing chance to view these artists' works. We look forward to seeing you at our venue.

「Ango Daido」

Mizuma, Kips & Wada Art is very delighted to announce our upcoming exhibition, “Ango Daido” by renowned Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama.
 
Moriyama was born in Osaka in October, 1938. While he was actively working as a designer, he moved to Tokyo in 1961 to pursue his career in photography. After working as an assistant of Hosoe Eikou, he shifts to become a freelance photographer.
 
His unique style that emphasized sensibility of “are・bure・boke” collected an enormous attention globally, and he has since received numerous awards, including Photographic Society of Japan Newcomer’s Award. In 2019, he became a fourth Japanese photographer to be awarded The Hasselblad International Award in Photography, which is considered a “Nobel Prize of photography.”
 
Starting with Ango, the series of photographs that Moriyama shot based on Sakaguchi Ango’s short story, In the Forest, Under Cherries in Full Bloom, this exhibition will carry number of works that have not been exhibited previously.
