Bringing Memories to Life
January 28 – February 3, 2014 10am – 7:30pm

We are pleased to present this collection by four women whose diverse styles of art come together
through the motif of memory. Bringing memories to life through many different filters, these artists
recreate experiences and moments from daily life—scenery imbued with a sense of remembrance.

The works presented here feature a range of styles including collages, graphic, hand-drawing, embroidery
on canvas. The design of these reconstructed memories may look simple: after all, they originate from
simple experiences. But they are also nuanced and perhaps ambiguous as they weave pieces of the past
into something that feels more real than reality. Through this collection, spectators can relive their own
memories. Perhaps you, too, have memories that, through the way they look and feel, connect you to the
artists’ own recollections.

We hope that these artists, whose collections erase the boundary between ordinary and extraordinary and
highlight the connections between all of us, invoke in everyone who views their work a sense of the power
of imagination and memory.

Tokyo Fantasy
October 23 – October 29, 2013 10:30am – 8pm (Last day until 4pm)
Gallery Talk Show October 23, 2013 2pm – 3pm

Music resounds through the night from speakers amidst countless glittering neon lights.
New buildings rise one after the other, and then demolished with the same speed. Light
and sound reflect loudly off bustling cars. This is a city where the old and new, and light
and shadow exist together, and appears disoriented with the accumulation of many artificial
things, yet has a sparkling, mysterious look to it. This place, Tokyo, is truly like a fantasy
world.

Today, people are linked to each other and the rest of the world through the Internet.
People commute in and out of cities, and go through many distractions in their daily lives.
Tokyo culture has become ubiquitous, and with the increase in complexity has brought about a
multitude of points of view, new ways of understanding.
Within this sparkling, shining city lies a perennial gray, a nebulous unease about the unforeseeable
future. Here lives a society that is so saturated with information from every direction that it is
hard to see what has meaning and value.

The energy that we find ourselves steeped in has created an awareness of fantasy within ourselves.
It evokes feelings of unfathomable beauty, distant memories, things non-human, expressing a more
exact shape of the inner world. We look for hope within this fantasy. Within the fantasy, we long
to search for truth. All of these things overflow into the outside world and blur the line between
fantasy and reality, creating the intangible harmony and staggering fantasy world that is Tokyo.

Jumping Out of the Pages, New Creations
March 12 – March 21, 2013 10am – 7:30pm

Many artists today work as illustrators for magazines, books, and the like. And via the pages of these
publications, while they take on the role of visual communicators, they are at the same time expressing
their unique worldview as artists. With this theme, we present to you an art exhibition featuring five
talented artists who have bright futures ahead of them.
The art here exhibits all sorts of styles, from pieces that while quaint and precious have within them
a certain maliciousness, creating a mysterious fusion; to fleeting landscapes painted in acryllic; to
three-dimensional sculpture made out of clay, going beyond just flat surfaces. They are all unique
productions with original approaches. And thanks to this freedom with which the artists create their
works, they are able to express their idiosyncratic individuality.
At this exhibition, we have included original works that have been featured in published work, two- and
three-dimensional art, collages, and so on, all available to view and purchase. We hope that you enjoy
the art on display here, and perhaps find pieces with which you personally connect. We hope that you will
have the time to visit and be a part of this exhibition, where you can share the time and space with these
creative works.

A Taste of French Cuisine In Painting
Beginning with Les Cristallines in Tokyo’s Aoyama, owner and chef Akinori Tanaka has opened French
restaurants in the Shinjuku and Shibuya districts of Japan’s capital, as well. Tanaka began painting with
the idea of decorating his own restaurants. The paintings feature fun uses of his knowledge from his career
as a chef. For his second solo exhibition at Isetan, Tanaka has a new outlook on his work, and is now for
the first time showing paintings that feature restaurant cuisine and real cooking tools and utensils.
