Kazutaka Shioi's works do not only capture nature itself but also the light that he captures, which is a landscape right in front of our eyes, yet somehow out of our reach. The natural scenes reflected in “Sha-Ko-Seki: light reflecting stone” are more than mere visual reproductions of landscapes; they evoke subtle expressions of light that we usually overlook, as well as moments in which time and memory overlap.
What is it that makes us who we are in the first place? Where am I headed? are the essence of Shioi's work, creating a place for profound dialogue. Shioi's sharp eye carefully scoops up the energy and memories hidden in nature and speaks to our hearts through the light of his work.
During the exhibition, a workshop for making Sha-Ko-Seki will be held to share the ideas and philosophy behind the works. Please take this opportunity to enjoy the unique world view created by Kazutaka Shioi.
