The heart, always in search of beauty, can discover beauty even from negative images of destruction and decay, and trying to find the comfortable balance.“That is creation,” Hiroko Koshino comments.
It has been three years since an unprecedented major earthquake occurred. The beauties that are to be dug out from devastation not only to remember meaning of the catastrophe that took many lives, but to renew our thoughts how precious each person’s life is.The exhibited works here convey such feelings.
Paper creases running across the canvas and messy runny paints are the symbol of destruction; attempting to find beauty from those variable images is representing rich gradual tone of colors from the subdued one to the warm one that is touch of spring.
Just like an accomplished chef crafting his/her own recipe, the artist is proud of freely employing various expression methods that she had tried out and developed. Please enjoy Koshino’s brand new pieces of work.
