Manika Nagare: Rivers need Springs
Yuka Tsuruno Gallery presentsRivers need Springs an exhibition of oil paintings by Manika Nagare, from Saturday, September 5th to Saturday, August 3rd 2015.
Manika Nagare has earned high respect from her oil paintings, themed around Japan's nature and curiosity evoked by strangers that passes by daily. The theme smeared fragmentary with an extraordinary sense of color appears as an abstract, drawn venturously yet subtlety stimulating the viewer's imagination.
The painting, as though the theme and the background almost respond to each other, is formed by layers of lines, glossiness and transparency stained through the canvas. This first exhibition after three year will show ten new artworks of various shape. The title of the exhibition "ichiyo (One Leaf)" derives from "ichiyouchishu" which expresses the knowing that autumn has come only to see a falling leaf. Understanding the essence of the object by a smidgen of hint; just like it's meaning, underneath the initial subtleness of the surface, the pieces all convey imagination of the artist's thoughts.
