[Notice of exhibition]
Poet and artist Mitsutoshi Sunahara's solo exhibition "Hikari no machi / The City of Light" will be held from July 25th (Tue.) to July 30th (Sun.), 2023 at "Tokyo Asakusa Gallery Gei" in Asakusa.
Mitsutoshi Sunahara, through his attempt to explore the "poetic", draws not only his poetry, but also the approach of detailed paintings with a pen and colorful expressions with acrylic gouache, depicting the appearance of a densely packed city. In October 2022, he successfully held his first group exhibition, "Project HORIZON", and published a collection of his works and poems, "Toshino Nukegara / Cast-off shell of City/Town". In this exhibition, he will present all new works, focusing on colorful acrylic gouache works.
This exhibition's theme is "Hikari no machi / The City of Light". “Hikari / Light” is our dream and hope for the future. These dreams and hopes are embedded in the landscape of the city, rocky mountains, large trees, and waves, shining dimly and faintly so that we cannot be seen. Dreams and hopes for the future are not guaranteed to come true. Even so, "light" continues to exist in the landscape, roads continue as roads, and cities continue to exist as cities. By depicting cities as such landscapes, Sunahara hopes to express existences on the "other side" that are out of reach, faintly shining dreams and hopes, and something irreversible.
Please visit our exhibition when you come to Asakusa. We would like you to see Sunahara’s works that express urban landscapes.
