Chignitta will be holding a solo exhibition by Mayumi Tsuzuki, who is active in Tokyo. Tsuzuki, who continues to create original works while crossing the border between illustration and art, takes everyday things around us as motifs and depicts the extraordinary fantasy and madness lurking within them. In addition to conceptual lithography works created by making blocks using detailed pencil drawings, we will be exhibiting the latest oil paintings.
Gallery talk & reception: March 20th from 3pm.
On the first day, the 20th, we will be open until 10pm for "Water Jazz".

"LIFE"
Houses, cities, people, families.
These are motifs that I have been drawing for many years.
Landscapes and people that seem like a moment from a memory or dream,
The subtleties of life are reflected.
Everything has two contradictory sides,
We are constantly balancing the two sides.
I think of my life as walking a tightrope.
The small tensions of each day are expressed in bright colors.
Contrary to the common motif,
It is expressed through a somewhat strange and disturbing scene.
May your life, with all its brightness and darkness, be humorous and lovely.
