Cafenea Poesis

Tokuhiro Kawai „Odă somnului”, expusă în cadrul expoziției sale personale de la Gyokuei Gallery din Tokyo până pe 29 noiembrie, reflectă ceea ce artistul descrie drept „o empatie profundă, specifică iubitorilor de pisici”.
Născut la Tokyo în 1971, Tokuhiro Kawai este unul dintre cei mai renumiți artiști ai curentului suprarealist asiatic contemporan. A obținut o licență în 1995 și un master în 1997, ambele la Universitatea Națională de Arte Frumoase și Muzică din Tokyo. Inspirate de teme precum magie și fantezie, lucrările sale par să ignore gravitația și perspectiva, stimulând imaginația privitorilor prin figuri luminoase și plutitoare.

SHADOWS Shadows have a big role in my creative process. I started my artistic career with watercolors of Goan houses.I loved to paint bright sunlight fallen on walls and windows of the houses. In a painting one can create an impression of sunlight only when shadows are painted. The sunlight in my works owed its existence to shadows. I use long shadows of participants cast by the evening sun to present mystical effects. A shadow itself is mysterious. Rumi sums up this mystery in one of his poems. “ like a shadow I am and I am not.” Edit @vaibhavv.20 #shadow #shadows #fishermen #longshadows
