Gallery APA is a unique venue with an ancient well in the center of the room. It specializes in promoting upcoming Aichi artists. Their show until February 13 titled “UN-UNISON” presented works by five graduate art students in their first year. As the title suggested, artists had their own distinct style. Kachikawa’s etched animals drifted pleasantly naked under-water next to voluptuous legs in high-heels by Rika Mizuno. Color burst from Uemura’s canvas while monochrome works by Ono combined flowers and food and grainy aeroplanes by Kadota made reference to the war. We are yet to see how these five will evolve in the years to come.
