[Exhibition Views]
You get the impression that the animals are roaming about freely.
The capybara surrounded by plants and animals is heartwarming and soothing.
[Staff Comment]
Here we introduce Gekko Numata, whose lifelike paintings make animals and plants seem truly alive. Rendered with a soft touch, even the texture of the animals is captured with striking realism. The skillful use of empty space makes the animals stand out beautifully!! (Fujinuma)
[Exhibition Information]
art remix
“Remix” means to re-edit a work, or the re-edited work itself—but here we’d like you to read it as looking afresh at existing works through a new perspective. In a contemporary art scene that changes by the moment, where values are constantly being updated, revisiting works with fresh eyes and viewing them from the perspective of “now” reveals new discoveries. We look forward to seeing how this exhibition resonates with the Shibuya audience that keeps driving the present forward.
