While there is art that makes the viewer lean forward, there is also art that seems to come right at the viewer's eyes. There is no one right or wrong, but I think it has something to do with the eloquence of the art itself and, by extension, the strength of the creator's appeal.
If we were to put it on that scale,SHIN MURAYAMAThe latter would be the case with the work of "Masks of Mystery. The mysterious multi-colored masks he creates are more than a single work of art or a single object; they are as if they are other people. They look like creatures that transcend human existence, and even inspire a sense of awe.
."CAGE GALLERYIn his first solo exhibition in Japan, currently being held at the "Masks" Gallery, we will be able to see two mask works, including a new piece. Both masks are made with a skateboard as a body, and are sculpted with clothing, subsidiary materials, saddles, coins, and other items that the artist has around him. Moreover, since they are all sewn by hand, they are soft sculptures that are only one piece in the world.
The windows are designed so that people passing by the gallery will be able to see the exhibit, making it look like a public artwork. The windows are lit from 11:00 to 20:00, but the works can be viewed 24 hours a day.
Anyway, please take a look at it once. It will be an experience that will blow all the information out of your mind.
