COCORO NAKAURA Solo Exhibition 2025

ー 2 side ー

Having long regarded the flow of information through smartphones and computers as a kind of "landscape of our times," COCORO NAKAURA has increasingly blurred the boundaries of painting styles—perhaps as a way of expressing the ambiguity of contemporary reality itself. The title of this solo exhibition, “2 side,” refers to two distinct series: “Portrait,” which depicts digital landscapes, and “Staining,” which captures scenes from the physical world. Nakaura challenges himself to explore the in-between space that connects these two realms. By contemplating the intersection of these landscapes, his work may reflect the lived experience of people today, who constantly move between the digital and physical worlds. Through this perspective, he continues to seek a new way for painting to represent our era.

Exhibition Period : Thursday, June 19 – Wednesday, June 25
Venue : Artglorieux GALLERY OF TOKYO (GINZA SIX 5F)
Opening Hours : 10:30 – 20:30 (closes at 18:00 on the final day)

Masataka Inukai Solo Exhibition 2024

Labyrinth of Memory

This will be Masataka Inukai's first solo exhibition at Artglorieux. After completing his graduate degree in oil painting and printmaking in 2021, he has gone on to use pencil and pen to create sepia-tone art that is reminiscent of copperplate prints. Describing the worlds shown in his art, which feature a touch of nostalgia like that experienced in a motion picture, Inukai explains, "I utilize lines to create visualizations of sensations and movements by things that are invisible to the eye. As I draw, the final image I'm searching for begins to surface, and I express this by intentionally utilizing empty spaces. I hope that viewers will infuse these empty spaces with their own scenes and emotions as they view my works." We encourage you to stop by and experience Masataka Inukai's works for yourself.　　　　
We sincerely look forward to seeing you !

COCORO NAKAURA Solo Exhibition

”SS” Screen Scenery

Cocoro Nakaura was born in Tokyo in 1998. He believes that pictorial art always represents the era in which it was made, and his works revolve around the central theme of "pop art in the digital age." Inspired to create them after realizing that he was spending more time staring at his smartphone screen rather than the passing scenery during his commute to art school, Nakaura formulated each of his art pieces in the pop-art style, inspired by large numbers of images from various unknown origins. Pop art is an expressive form from a past era of mass production and mass consumption which aimed to sublimate things encountered in daily life into unique art. Now, Nakaura explores the very essence of pictorial art that gives expression to the era through works that make use of contemporary, mass-produced images.

Junna Maruyama Solo Exhibition 2023

【Who am I？】

Junna Maruyama garnered widespread attention for her piece Coffin, created while she was still in high school. In 2021, she held a solo exhibition at Shanghai's Powerlong Museum based on the theme of "who am I?," setting a new record as the youngest artist to ever have a solo exhibition at that institution. She held an additional solo exhibition in London in 2022, and now she is completing her exhibition series based on the "who am I?" theme with another solo exhibition in Tokyo. This will be Maruyama's first solo showing in Japan and serve as a venue to present her discoveries based on five years of exploring the same underlying theme. We hope as many guests as possible will attend to view the artist's work.

Mitsuko Kuroki Solo Exhibition

“The Sixth Sense”

The sixth sense is one of a human's ability beyond the five senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. It's called “The news carried by bugs(mushi-no-shirase)” in Japan, from ancient times.

Actually, the essence of the sixth sense is empathy without using five senses, I think. We can not explain this ability with language but I believe It's one of the elements to show the human's roots.

In my work, “The Sixth Sense”, there is “the anthropomorphized sixth sense” with bright color and gorgeous decorativeness. For drawing them, I used the technique of Japanese art which is mixed traditional and original.
