11/30〜12/5 横山 進 写真展(テーマは蓮)

写真家歴は長く、水面に蓮を撮れば、彼ほどの作家はそうそう居ないであろうと思う。研ぎすまされた、緊張と緩和のバランスが実に素晴らしい。見るものを安心させ、まるで清められてるかの様な気にさせてくれる。写真の中に油彩画家としての顔も臨かせている。そんな横山氏を写真家のモネと私はそっと思ってる。静寂の中の蓮達に会いに来て下さい。

Artcube4, Latin Music Live & Art Study Project at SoHo

This is a very exciting week for us at the gallery. We have three very special events going on and we'd love for you to come and check them out.

First we have this week's exhibition, artcube4. This is year we have 23 artists taking on the challenge of fitting art into a clear plastic cube 10cm x 10cm x 10cm. Many of the artists are working on 3D for the first time and it is fascinating to see how they've tackled the challenge.

Second, we are having a small latin music concert by Peruvian guitarist Jimmy Andrade on Friday nov. 19th. This will be his third date playing at SoHo and it'll be a lot of fun. We have two shows, the first at 7:30Pm and the second at 9:00pm. Tickets are just 1500 yen and include 1 drink.
Finally on Saturday nov. 20th we7ll be hosting the second installment of Art Study Project, an art seminar conducted by Masakatsu Nishino and aimed at preparing buddying artists for the business aspects of art.

Come and check out our schedule this week and enrich your life with art one little cube at a time.

EXCAVATION by Matthew Fasone, November 9th to 14th, 2010 at SoHo Art Gallery

Matthew Fasone is an artist from New York City who has been living and working in Osaka for the past four years. This solo exhibition at Soho Gallery is his second solo exhibition in Japan and will feature selected works from his “Excavation” series.

Matthew describes his work as primitive, exploring the dichotomic relationship of opposites that exist in nature. Harmony and tension, destruction and preservation, mobility and stability, light and dark and comprehension and incomprehension are all moods or themes that can be evoked when looking at his art.

Matthew paints with encaustic, a technique where wax and paint are melted together. Because encaustic dries so quickly, he is able to paint layer on top of layer (with careful consideration not to destroy the under layer) and as the layers accumulate you can readily see the gesture and painterly process of his painting.
