Landscape水の記憶 交差する視線

Since the 1990s, Miyuki Yokomizo has presented minimalistic installations in Japan and abroad that use plastics and other familiar artificial objects, with time, space, and light as central elements. In recent years, she has been attempting to construct new landscapes by combining installation works with two-dimensional works that reimagine the installation space onto canvas. In the works she describes as “paintings as sculpture,” Yokomizo does not use a brush. Instead, she snaps thread coated with oil paint against the canvas, leaving traces of lines across the surface. Through splashes, raised textures, fading, and subtle displacements, these lines reveal painting not only as an image on a flat surface, but also as a material presence in real space and as traces of a physical gesture. In this exhibition, Yokomizo responds to the distinctive architecture of ICHION CONTEMPORARY, where natural light enters each floor and shifts throughout the day.　Between the visible and the invisible, she creates fleeting scenes where space, light, line, and memory intersect.
