Maki Fine Arts is pleased to present "Red / Blue / Green," a group exhibition organized by our gallery artist Kazuhito Tanaka. With his 2012 solo show "Untitled Composition" presented by Maki Fine Arts and the artist-led group show "Her Name is Abstra" organized by him still fresh in our mind, Tanaka has now joined forces with Kyoto-based artist Maiami and NY-based artist Shinsuke Aso to present the upcoming three-artist show. "Red / Blue / Green" will be comprised of various artwork including photography, collage, video, and performance.

The way a simple haiku with limited syllables and words can describe the entire universe; The way an arrangement of a single table and a few chairs can draw out countless voices; The way combinations of red, blue, and green can create an unlimited number of colors; And the way a little more than 100 elements can form every single substance on earth. The complex world (or artwork!) emerging from the combination of simple elements: This is our show's theme the three of us would like to present to you.
In our show, you may find Maiami's effortless voice and dance unexpectedly branching out to fill every corner of the gallery. You may find the collages created with fragments of Aso's daily life casting doubt on your visual perception. And you may find me weaving colors. If you happen to stop by your favorite café after visiting the show, you may be surprised to notice that, unlike before, the cup of coffee and the piece of cheese cake you ordered tastes exceptionally complex. It may even bring a smile to your face. These are just a handful of thoughts that I had while organizing "Red / Blue / Green."
