Current Exhibition

A Decade Or So Ago・As Tears Go By | Kenjiro Okazaki

4 August - 29 August, 2020

Venue : Takuro Someya Contemporary Art


Takuro Someya Contemporary Art is pleased to present Kenjiro Okazaki’s solo exhibition “A Decade or So Ago・As Tears Go By.” This exhibition features 12 works made prior to 2010, selected by Okazaki for their special meaning to him, and range from related paintings to sculpture and tile works. This is a rare occasion in which to see these varied works, carefully preserved by the artist, together in relation to one another. We hope that viewing Okazaki’s works from a decade or so ago may provide an opportunity to look anew at the difficulties of our present moment, and perhaps provide a hint as to how to move from a reflection on the past toward a view of the prospective future.
