Tokonoma II - Hiroshi Soga

For the second edition of Tokonoma, Art San Gallery presents an installation by Hiroshi Soga, a Japanese artist whose work is remarkable for its consistency and for the unusual range of traditions it brings together.

​

Within the tokonoma, the installation as a whole becomes a dialogue between image and object, thought and ritual, gesture and structure: a concentrated field where transformation, interdependence, and the cycle of nature are made visible.

​

Titled Mizu, the work evokes water and the continuous movement through which life is renewed.

​

This installation is in dialogue with two essays published by the gallery: The Butsudan Painting and the Cave of Lascaux and The Painting as a Game of Go.

Institutional, curatorial, and collector inquiries are welcome.
