Identity Art Gallery- September Exhibition: Bejeweled by Atsushi Tawa

Dear Editor, Art Lover and Friend,
Identity Art Gallery is pleased to present: Bejeweled by Atsushi Tawa
Thursday, September 13鈥� Saturday, October 20, 2012
Enter the manifest universe of Japanese artist Atsushi Tawa where allusively functional objects are bejeweled, bedazzled and bewitched by matter that is as natural as it is manmade, as alive as it is dead, and as beautiful as it is ugly.
Concerned with the emptiness of both form and content, and presented as an isolation of the Romantic ideal, Tawa鈥檚 stunning sculptures, shown in Hong Kong for the first time, are an oddly poetic response to our imperfect world.
Tawa鈥檚 fascination about the concept of individuality as a notion of established societal norm has led him to experiment with a wide variety of mediums and methods, covering drawing, mixed media sculpture, installations, video and painting.
Born, lives and works in Kyoto, Tawa graduated from the Bachelors fine arts department of Tokyo Zokei University before earning his masters at the Glasgow School of Art in the UK. His recent exhibitions include 鈥淧ower of A Painting 2012鈥�, NADiff Gallery, Tokyo; 鈥淗idden World 鈥� Hidden Answers鈥�, Kunstlerhaus, Hamberg, Germany and the EWAA Award Exhibition, Le Galerie, London UK; 鈥淚llusion / Reality鈥�, Emerson Gallery Berlin.
Come join Atsushi and us at the Opening Reception on
Thursday, September 13, 2012 at 7.00-9.00pm
About Identity Art Gallery
Art is Long, Life is Short. Identity Art Gallery brings together visionary art identities who respect art as a lifelong, enduring creative endeavour existing outside the realms of fads and fashion. We discover and promote artists from all four corners of the world, whose strong inner visions foster, seduce, confront and bolster our identities across a diverse range of media, in unusual, direct and lasting manners. Beauty and colours are our mutual interest; simplicity and integrity our common language. Forging links and synergies among like-minded artists, collectors, galleries and curators through solo exhibitions and group collaborations, our ultimate vision is to cultivate an environment where creativity and identities may further flourish.
