Collaboration planning 6th.
Painter, by late Kuniyoshi Kaneko and fashion designer Hiroko Koshino, contest of painting and style image.
Knowing each other for over 50 years, Kaneko and Koshino examined “people” from their own unique points of view. Their timeless styles finally converge with this exhibition.
Please enjoy a look into the new story woven by the creativity of these two rare expressers.
Get an early look at Hiroko Koshino and circle side’s collaboration exhibit Resonance with Light at KH Gallery Ashiya.
In this exhibition, circle side redefines Koshino’s organic and colorful oil paintings as a new form of “light”, by extracting textures and outlines from the paintings and converting such information in to audio and video.
The immersive experience brought out by the resonance between the two approaches on art is more than a simple addition.
We invite you to come experience the resonant “light of paintings” echoing endlessly inside a space designed by renowned architect Tadao Ando.
