The embroidery artistYen Kiharawill hold his first solo exhibition "HOLLYWOOD" at the art gallery "HOLLYWOOD" in front of Meiji Jingumae.CLASSThe event will be held at
She has been seeking a venue for her activities in places that are open to diverse art forms, such as "Strange Store" owned by Ken Kagami and "New New York Club" in Jiyugaoka, and has finally arrived at the opportunity to hold a solo exhibition. In this exhibition, she will present a series of embroidered works that reflect her own experiences in Los Angeles.
First, here are some comments by Yen Kihara .
For me, embroidery is a way to express my fluffy thoughts and unspoken feelings, and for this project, I created a theme based on my fluffy memories in LA.
I have many memories in LA, some happy, some sad, and some sad. But I am now 30 years old, and I have realized that memories are always beautiful and endearing. I have always wanted to make a large piece of work, and this is my first attempt. . I not only embroidered but also dyed the cloth myself. It is an important piece of work that I completed over time, diligently, while taking breaks at work, on the train, on an airplane, at a friend's house, on a sofa at a family restaurant, and in many other places. I would be happy if many people could see it!
Every time the needle with the thread attached goes through the fabric, the memories of LA will be recalled. The unforgettable travel memories become lovely embroideries and are incorporated into clothes, bags, and other items. Each piece of work completed by hand is imbued with an unforgettable feeling.
A limited number of T-shirts from the exhibition will also be available during the exhibition. There should be surprisingly few opportunities to come in contact with embroidery artists and their solo exhibitions, so why not visit?
