[Staff comment]
Using a wide range of colors, these works spark the viewer's imagination. I found them full of energy and movement, a real pleasure to look at. Notice, too, how shadows make the forms seem to float, giving the works a sense of dimension. You can see Ko Kikuchi's art at the venue—please do come and visit! (Fujinuma)
