SAKURA – Expression by 13 Japanese Female Artists

03 – 07 Apr 2014
Manzi Art Space

From Manzi:

Part 1: Expressions by 13 young Japanese female artists

Although different in choices of materials, styles and areas of interest, the 13 young artists in this show all share one thing in common – a continuous devotion to express themselves only on canvas, using languages from contemporary art, illustration and textiles. Like the air of an early morning in spring, the works on display here beautifully capture and depict the lightness and tranquility of the season of love. We hope that you too will feel the spring in the air.

Part 2 “A Japanese Tradition with illustration”

“Chusen” – a traditional Japanese technique of dyeing cloth is becoming rare nowadays. In an attempt to revive “chusen” and to approach younger generations, a company is using the technique to produce “tenugui” – a type of multi-purpose handkerchief with modern patterns which can be used not only to wipe, but also to wrap presents or as a scarf, helping you make a more unique fashion statement. The artists have collaborated with the company to design and produce “tenugui” handkerchiefs especially for this show, which will be available to purchase at the venue. Accent your daily life with a touch of Japanese tradition combined with contemporary art in the form of a beautiful fashion garment.
