Sachiko Muraoka at Ai Kawada gallery

sleep on the ground,” oil on cotton, 1620 x 1303mm, 2010

One of the latest additions to the Kyosumi-Shirakawa art complex Ai Kawada Gallery is showing the new works by a young painter Sachiko Muraoka. The exhibition, entitled “weather report” brings together five paintings where flickers of color paint against dark, velvety background (she uses cotton as support), are meant to reproduce memories and sensations. Unfortunately, the reproductions do not do justice to these subtle works, I suggest you see these for yourselves. The show will be open through February 26th.
