I’m honoured to be collaborating with Takuya Inoue to exhibit his paintings in harmony with my sound meditations. Viewings available with all sound bath bookings or by appointment request. To book a sound bath please visit kikosounds.com or link tagged here.
Takuya Inoue is a Japanese painter exploring the ‘universality’ of all phenomena. As part of his observations, he spends his daily life traveling to different places. He immerses himself in the changing landscapes, climates, people and cultures of everyday life and uses this as a motivation to paint his feelings, thoughts and values, which are also changing. Inoue completed his MFA at Tokyo University of Art in 2021. His activities are supported by cultural grants such as the Ishibashi Foundation (2019), Nomura Foundation (2022) and other activities and residencies in various parts of Japan, Finland and China, and is realized in connection with the people he meets in those places. Previous exhibition includes installations using natural light changing from morning to night as the axis, such as “STRIKE ME PINK!” (Japan, 2018) and “Me?” (Japan, 2021), and “Children in Mother” (Japan, 2021), a group of works drawn during a year’s journey, in which the work continues to change in time. The work is an attempt to expose the existence of things that continue to change in time and things that remain unchanged in the repetition of that change.
