幽明の境にて(Border of of this world and the other world) 2015-16 / 53x33cm / acrylic, gesso and canvas
We are pleased to announce solo exhibition of Fuco Ueda. Fuko Ueda is the foremost fantasy painter of Japan. She paints a fragile world as if touching a dream. In the depth of Fuko’s world, as if flirted with by flooding images, there exists a classroom at school, a flower garden full of large chrysanthemums, or a mysterious deep sea, where little girls dominate the situation, playing as if floating.
This time the work is titled “The Realm of a Dream.” It is not a concrete situation. It is as if we stepped into the farthest depth of a dream where light and shadow were reversed.
GALLERY KOGURE
The realm of a dream is like a stranger you cannot interact with. You may feel you have caught it, but it slips away through your fingers.
The kind of feeling that you could not rely on anyone or anything which you may feel when you confront uncertainty and ambiguity of existence I continue to trace the outline of that feeling with a brush.
