eitoeiko is pleased to announce the exhibition 'Entrance of the World' by Jun Shirasu(b.1965). Shirasu received the first Joana Abranches Pinto Prize from Portugal Embassy in February 2011.

Following success at the solo exhibition 'Little Garden of Jun Shirasu' at AB1 gallery in Macau from December 2010 to February 2011, this show becomes the first exhibition after receiving the prize.

In 'Entrance of the World', Shirasu will show his new series of stone etchings. Different from etching on paper or Azulejo - the artist has a long career to make his artworks with both of them - stone etching is suitable to express his sensitive touch by hand. In Macau museum and Tokyo Metro Nihombashi station, there are murals by Bartolomeu Cid dos Santos. He is Shirasu's former teacher and Shirasu participated to make them with other artists.

Inspired with pattern of Asian and Persian myths, and shape of insect and fish, Shirasu is deep in his own thought about the lost civilization and lost species. And then, finally he discovered a past where the world began.

In front of his newest stone etchings, visitors will be able to enter his world.
