Todays Exhibition: Shadows
Today I went to the the Exhibition Shadows at the The National Art Center in Tokyo. There were some really amazing art there.
I was really impressed by Indo Matate (印藤真楯) and his painting Cherry Blossoms at Night (夜桜). Another painter who had a really interesting painting there was Higashiyama Kaii with his painting Reflection Image.
The next interesting artist was Yokoyama Taikan (横山 大観), who helped creating the japanese painting technique of Nihonga. His picture was Evening Twilight (暮夜), a really amazing picture.
The next artist that impressed me was Kitawaki Noboru, his paintings are surreal and remind me a bit of Salvador Dahli. He head three paintings there, but the one that I liked most was Quo Vadis.
After this came the photography section where some photographers catched my eyes. First was Hatakeyama Naoya (畠山 直哉) who had three paintings there from his series Underground. Great photography from the undergrounds in Tokyo. Pictures were taken with a remote fired flash that lights up just some part of the Tunnel.
Another photographer who jumped my eye was Sugimoto Hiroshi (杉本博司), especially this photo.
Last part were some more amazing, really large paintings. I especially liked the three paintings from Akioka Miho (秋岡美帆).
