Tsuyoshi Higashijima: Painting Becomes a Place to Pass Through

About this event

"Tsuyoshi Higashijima: Painting Becomes a Place to Pass Through," the first large-scale solo exhibition in his native Saga by painter Tsuyoshi Higashijima from Takeo City, Saga Prefecture, will be held at Saga University Art Museum. Known for large-scale paintings that envelop the viewer, Higashijima's body of work makes use of the 5-meter-high ceiling exhibition space, centered on massive works including his largest piece, "Painting as a Promise." A major attraction of this exhibition is the opportunity to experience a new way of seeing paintings, including the physical sensation of moving in front of the artwork. Visitors can enjoy a new dialogue with painting in a space created by large-scale works.
