It is with great pleasure we announce our in-gallery LIVE exhibition: MONO NO AWARE (An Empathy Toward Things): Japan at Cavin-Morris.
We have respected and been influenced by an intrinsic Japanese aesthetic since we first opened the gallery. It is an influence that spans across all time periods and all media. We have tried to convey some of that love in this exhibition showing indigo-dyed boro textiles, Noh theatre masks, Contemporary baskets, Contemporary Ceramics, and Contemporary art and Art Brut.
In ceramics we are honored to show the kiln fired books and magazines of Yohei Nishimura; Akihiro Nikaido, Takashi Nakazato, Yui Tsujimura, Kai Tsujimura, Keiichi Shimizu, Osamu Inayoshi, Yukiya Izumita, Takashi Tanaka, Takuro Shibata, Koichi Uchida, Akira Takeuchi, Maki Imoto (glass), Ken Mihara.
For contemporary basketry we are showing Mieko Kawase, Ritsuko Jinnouchi, Makiko Wakisaka And Hiroko Okuno.
Textiles: boro futon covers
We are featuring the delicate, profound print collages of Contemporary artist Yuko Kimura.
Our art brut selection includes works by M’onma, Yuichi Saito, Syunji Yamagiwa, Akinori Yoshida and Issei Nishimura.
We are presenting Japanese Noh and shrine masks from two collections.
Even this wide range barely scratches the surface of what we love about Japanese Art. We hope that, even in these restricted times, you can find time to come view it in our Covid-safe gallery. We hope to provide a respite from the stress and an insight into some important artistic perspectives.
