Exhibition Concept:
Sado Island, where Professor Shinichi Takahashi laid the foundation as an island of printmaking. This group exhibition features four artists who have a deep connection to printmaking in this region and pursue new expressions through their individual sensibilities.
There is an artist who deeply explores traditional woodblock printing techniques, delicately depicting nature and the lives of people. Another artist incorporates diverse materials and techniques based on woodblock printing, attempting free expression. And there are artists who re-examine the aesthetic of traditional woodblock printing from a contemporary perspective, pioneering new frontiers.
Through their unique expressions, we hope you will feel the diverse beauty of printmaking nurtured on this island, the rich creativity that arises from it, and the diverse possibilities that extend to the future.
