©Mitsuko Miwa
This exhibition mainly shows her new works and also several paintings from
the "SKELETON" series which were chosen for the cover of her first anthology
published in February 2012.
The motifs depicted on canvas are books; they are painted as belts of
different colors competing against each other and it adds 3 dimensional as
well as 2 dimensional feeling to the works. In order to express the
inconsistent relation of color and weight (the color itself does not have
weight) she treated the canvas itself as a statue. It will be our pleasure
for a viewer to enjoy her new works created in a viewpoint unlike the last
"STATUE" series that rebuilt statues in the canvas.
