CONTEMPORARY TOKYO・Beijing Space (Blanc Art District) will hold the solo exhibition "Unknown  Silence" by Yoshiro Kawakami from May 27th (Saturday) to July 1st (Saturday). The artist will be present on May 27th (Saturday)

[Artist's Statement]

In my artwork, I have always imagined children who cannot be defined as male or female, adults or children, existing in this world or another, and living in an undefined, immature state. I continue to depict them in my paintings.

They merely exist within the artwork, standing silently in that space.

They always carry a hint of fear, and I cannot determine where their gaze is directed.

Are they staring with determination at something, or are their eyes empty, seeing nothing?

Perhaps their gaze reflects our own, living in the farthest corner of the East.

Through painting and animation, I wholeheartedly portray them, experiencing it in this way.

[Yoshiro Kawakami]

Born in Tokyo in 1993, Yoshiro Kawakami graduated from the Department of Painting at Tokyo Zokei University in 2018 and completed his studies in the Animation Department at Tokyo University of the Arts Graduate School in 2020.
