Typhoons

Mizuma Art Gallery is pleased to present a group show by Akamatsu Nelo, Usami Masahiro, Namonaki Sanemasa, Mori Junichi, Zhao Zhao and Heri Dono, entitled “Typhoons (野分/颱風/topan)”. This exhibition features various artists with diverse backgrounds, including different ages, cultures, and nationalities, expressing their artworks through painting, sculpture, embroidery, and installations.

The original title “野分/颱風/topan” represents the word “typhoon” in Japanese, Chinese, and Indonesian, respectively. Due to its immense energy, typhoons, which even trigger disasters, are said to bring rain to plants and crops, protecting the marine ecosystem on the other hand. Their uniqueness, such as being given names of constellations and flowers, and their frequent portrayal in literature and films, as well as being frequently described as the charm and emotional impact in Japanese classics, give typhoons a diverse range of cultural and contextual significance despite being a natural phenomenon.

In this exhibition, we will show artworks by artists from Japan, China, and Indonesia who continue to express themselves in a multifaceted way, filled with immense energy a like a typhoon.
