Tokyo International Gallery presents a Solo Exhibition“Frangere Magna Caelum” by Yumeno Goto
Tokyo International Gallery (Shinagawa, Tennoz) is pleased to announce “Frangere Magna Caelum” a solo exhibition by
emerging artist, Yumeno Goto.
Goto creates art works based on mythology, folklore, and tarot, depicting the sorrow of people who have been oppressed
throughout the long history of the world. Goto describes her work as “a bridge to a world that continues beyond thepresent,” and continues to weave this grief into her work with the intention of providing relief to women who aresuffering and resisting. Goto's works have a wrought, materialistic feel, as if the raised paint is approaching the realworld. In this exhibition, titled “Frangere Magna Caelum (Shattering the Great Sky),” Goto expands from the symbolismof the nude, which she has always depicted, to larger beings such as goddesses and mothers, questioning the meaning ofconcealment and reapplication, and taking up the challenge of re-creation as revenge for mythology. Please join us andsee the chasm between the fantasy world created by Goto.

＜Artist Statement＞
With a chisel in hand, I scratched what I thought was a beautiful part of the painting.
Overlaid on the painting, blood flows in red, brown, black, purple, green, and blue.
Unnatural blood and flesh gurgles in the rolled-up skin appear on the surface of the protruding body.
Our sadness is traced from the wounds we have inflicted,painting as if to stain and treat what color and what shape it is.
I thought that I could one day create a rift in the world with that wound that spreads as a hole.
The rift that has opened in the world is like the path of the wind flowing from the sun.
The tear, like a cylinder of the sun descending from heaven, that penetrated beneath Mary's upper garment in the virginconception, as depicted by medieval artists.
I want to fall into the cracks of the world, upside down, peering comfortably into the sky from the periphery of thescaffolding that seems to be collapsing all the way from the watchtower. Like a dove flying down to conceive.
<Reference> Erich Neumann, The Phenomenology of the Unconscious Woman: The Great Mother, paragraph 28, from a
passage in Jung's "The Structure of Mind".
