Shinji Ogawa

“Mirror”

21 Mar - 24 Apr 2016

AISHONANZUKA presents Shinji Ogawa’s first major solo exhibition ‘Mirror’ in Hong Kong.

Ogawa’s pencil works attracted a great deal of attention from the art world in his solo show at Art Basel Hong Kong 2013 so that all the works were sold out on the VIP preview day.This exhibition offers mainly the works which are much larger in scale than Ogawa’s past works including about ten new pencil works displayed to the public for the first time.

Ogawa has consistently dealt with the theme that “What is the world?” and “What is the meaning of space and time for us?” In this exhibition ‘Mirror’

Ogawa presents contradictory ideas and images in one screen at the same time such as “Same, but different”, “Symmetry, but asymmetry”, “One, but two” and so on. There is unintentionally depicted an ambitious vision which shakes our consciousness, awareness and logic themselves and includes lots of cognitive-scientific mystery.

Ogawa’s art pieces are all drawn with only pencils on paper. Viewers would be attracted by Ogawa’s unique concept which is represented on the precise and tranquil black-and-white screen.

A reception party will be held on 21st March with a presence of the artist. We are sincerely looking forward to you visiting our gallery.

AISHONANZUKA 將會在香港舉辦小川信治的首次個人展覽《Mirror》。

小川的鉛筆作品在2013年香港巴塞爾藝術博覽會中已得到藝壇極大關注，所有作品更在貴賓預覽當天售罄。是次展覽主要展出比過往更大型的作品，當中包括十張首次公開展示的鉛筆作品。

「何謂世界？」及「空間和時間對我們有何意義？」是小川一直探討的主題。是次展覽《Mirror》中，小川將「相同，亦差異」，「對稱，亦不對稱」，「一，亦二」等矛盾對立的概念和圖像置於同一畫面裡。當中包含了大量認知科學的奧祕，使我們的意識、感知以及邏輯均被這種描繪方式所衝擊。

小川的作品全是鉛筆紙本，精細而寧靜的黑白畫面裡呈現著小川獨特的意念，觀者亦會為之吸引。

藝術家將會出席3月21日的開幕酒會，歡迎前來畫廊參觀。
