Tokyo International Gallery presents a Solo Exhibition“SURFACE OF MOON LAKE” by Ayami Yamaguchi
Tokyo International Gallery (Shinagawa, Tennoz) is pleased to announce “SURFACE OF MOON LAKE”
a solo exhibition by emerging artist, Ayami Yamaguchi.
Yamaguchi, a master's degree student at Kyoto University of Art, works by capturing that moment of interaction
between form and color that occurs through gravity and contingency. She pursues a variety of expressive
possibilities by considering color and light as the smallest unit and integrating the effects of light throughpigments and mediums. In this exhibition, she presents three series of works: "Humidity," in which he creates
forms by layering canvas over paint using the technique of decalcomania, which she has been working on since
she was a student; "Attention," which combines forms that hang down due to gravity and circles created by tilting
the support; and "Jamming," which depicts light interfering from the center with the relationship of colors. These
series depict the dynamics of visual harmony and dissonance. Human vision is affected by light sources, whichsometimes create visual noise and illusions. With an awareness of these characteristics of light, she creates aharmony or friction of colors on canvas.
