The 37th Traveling Okawa Museum of Art Exhibition: "Artists of Kiryu - Kiryu's Forms"

About this event

Since 2020, the Okawa Museum of Art has hosted the "Artists of Kiryu" group exhibition series featuring artists connected to or based in Kiryu. Following last year's event, this traveling exhibition introduces artists based in Kiryu chosen from among those who participated in the series. Through these works, we hope visitors will enjoy experiencing the "present" of Kiryu's rich and diverse art scene. Furthermore, ever since its opening, the Okawa Museum of Art has maintained deep connections with artists from Kumamoto Prefecture. The concurrent special exhibition "Kumamoto Prefecture and the Okawa Museum of Art" highlights these connections alongside featured artworks. On display in the main exhibition are works such as "Wait" by Yasuhiro Maruo, "Kiryu Honcho-dori Painting (East Side)" by Toshihiro Kanehara, "hello Yellow" by Tsuyoshi Nemoto, and "Reiwa" by Mariko Fukushima. The special exhibition features works including "Landscape" by Tomoaki Hamada, "One-Eared Lily" by Yukio Hideshima, "Work" by Kosei Sasaki, and "Dream" by Yasuhiro Maruo. Gallery talks by curators and the workshop "Lucky 7 Pop-Up Butterfly Card" led by participating artist Mariko Fukushima will also be held.
