Takanosuke Yasui “OK Plastic”
We visited Takanosuke Yasui’s solo exhibition “OK Plastic.” The venue was MEDEL GALLERY SHU.
This exhibition centered on works inspired by the life of the sculptor Camille Claudel, gathering pieces that focus on “plasticity” and “translucent sculpture.”

The gallery’s atmosphere had changed dramatically from usual, thanks to the green boards lined up along the walls. The hand-painted green walls seem to accentuate the power of the works.

The exhibition drew a strong response, with many visitors flocking in despite the one-week run.
The distinctive drape-like texture, built on a plaster base, is captivating enough to pull you in and seize the heart. This body of work — moving fluidly between painting and sculpture — is sure to keep drawing attention.
