We visited the selection exhibition at Gallery Binosha in Nezu.

The exhibition combined works by artists associated with Gallery Binosha with pieces from the personal collection of gallery owner Mr. Oishi.

The single most interesting work was by Daisuke Takahashi.

We spoke with Mr. Yagi of HARMAS GALLERY, who shared a fascinating background to this piece: “He had hit a wall with the composition, so he sliced the paint off the panel entirely with a knife, flipped it over, put it back onto the panel, and started again from there. Back then, he was cutting up and collaging his own work — with a certain sense of guilt about it. (Yagi, Director of HARMAS GALLERY)”

The overwhelming force of Daisuke Takahashi’s work was memorable, and being able to see a work by Koji Nakazono was also a wonderful experience.
The presence of young artist Yukiko Kimura’s work was likewise striking. Her solo exhibition is scheduled to open on December 17.

The gallery owner has a sharp eye for collecting, and it made us want to see even more of the collection.
