“Daytime Eats Night” makes the debut solo show in China for Japanese artist Miyuki Akiyama. 

Miyuki first exhibited at Andrew James Art in 2008 in a group exhibition for young Japanese artists.  Her work was very well received and the gallery warmly welcomes her back for her biggest show to date.

Miyuki’s oil paintings are beautiful dreamlike landscapes inhabited by lots of forest creatures and wild animals, the paintings  border on the abstract and the surreal and leave plenty to the imagination to conjure up the meanings behind them.

Miyuki describes it as “When I look at things such as the animals, forests and sprawling cities, I imagine it to be very different, I see an ancient scenery which has taken root here, a different time flow and the phenomenon which has taken place.  Seeing both these different sceneries before me and connecting with them I feel possible to compose the “Present”.
