[Exhibition] Yotaro Futa Exhibition
"The rotating meal/the missing cat"

Artist Yotaro Nuda's exhibition "Rotating Meal/Missing Cat" will be held from (Sat) October 26, 2024 to (Fri), November 15, 2024 on the platform in front of Starbucks GINZA TSUTAYA BOOKS.

 

Through his paintings, Yotaro Nunoda presents painting experiences that seem to evoke our poetic and intuitive senses.
Nuda chooses familiar subjects such as cats and crows as motifs, and in his work he slightly distorts their natural forms, gradually abstracting them as if dissolving their contours.
By combining the concrete and abstract, and by raising the medium so much that the surface of the painting appears raised, the artist says that "the painting itself feels alive," inviting the viewer into a free-flowing pictorial space.
The design of the pictorial space, which encourages such fluid interpretation, can be said to be similar to the painterly sensibility often seen in Kumagai Morikazu and Japanese painting, characterized by ample white space, a shallow perspective, and caricature-like deformed figuration.

 

 

[Comment on the exhibition]
The small tray of food and the cat fitting snugly inside the box overlap.
Faced with a texture so densely packed with life, humans were powerless.
I'm sure everything goes round and round modestly. It slowly fades away and goes to sleep.
