Kodama Gallery Collection - ignore your perspective 19 'space aesthetics' will be held. In this exhibition, Kosuke Ishida, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Katsuhisa Sato, and Nobuyuki Shimizu will show different art works in various mediums. 

Kosuke Ishida has held a solo exhibition in May this year at Kodama Gallery Kyoto. Without any special tool or camera, a photo looks like computer graphics by digital processing, but reflected wave and floating garbages on Dotonbori looks like colorful neon sign so that it gives a feeling of 

Kiyoshi Kurosawa works sculpture and installation made of simple materials, such as woods and glass, as using their original texture and color. It is the first time that Kodama Gallery introduces Kurosawa. His work focuses on recognizing a symbolic form beyond abstraction and balanced form, which make a viewer feel comfortable. 

Katsuhisa Sato got a great attention from his solo exhibition in June at this gallery. Sato keeps questioning himself for color, composition and process in every scenes and pursues conscious recognition of action continuously. However, art work itself does not show a trace of such consideration or trial and error but all-over painting or stripes has accent so that it attracts audiences. 

Another new artist introduced is Nobuyuki Shimizu, who creates materialized color. As using a painting knife, precast mass of paint in multi-dimensional on canvas gives a feeling of strange existence. Oil paint like clay without oil is utilized so that a form could be maintained.
