. A number of works drawn with a single line and color that have been stripped down to the extreme. An illustrator and artist active in the field ofOsamu Nagaba. will open a solo exhibition, "Express More with Less," on May 1.
A drawing on an ACE HOTEL notepad, which has become synonymous with the name "ACE HOTEL. This exhibition was realized after Mr. Nagba readily accepted an offer to exhibit the heat of the "A Piece for a day" exhibition held in 2015 at "MIDORI.so2 GALLERY" by replacing the drawings with canvas work. .
The title "Express More with Less" is the main characteristic of Nagaba's drawings. He quickly grasps a rough idea of the information, and without worrying about the details, he draws the motifs he sees, taking in the atmosphere they emit. In order to shorten the distance between the viewer and the work, he chooses "people" as his motifs, which are of interest to many people.
In the process of changing the support from paper to canvas, the exhibition will reconstruct the works that have been created so far and explore the possibilities of illustration. In addition to the exhibition of works, letterpress prints will be on sale, as well as merchandise that will be unveiled for the first time.
Mr. Nagaba himself will be present on the first day of the exhibition. Please come and visit the exhibition.
