"Laws of Life" Exhibition

At Ashikaga Museum of Art

This world, that life so briefly brushes. Why do we exist, and how much can we turn to face up against the certainty of death. How should we best live this limited life. In this day and age, when human lives are often handled as if they were objects, and when civil war and unrest have become something commonplace, this question has taken on greater significance than ever. Artists, too, have tried to tackle this issue through the ages. Does art have the ability to arouse our vitality in order to begin to approach this conundrum? Perhaps this is a universal question we have all ruminated on.
Fumihiko Aono, Takayuki Obana and Moto Yamamoto are all artists who create works that tackle the eternal theme of death, and in so doing thereby shed light on the power of life by contrast. Viewers of their works will hopefully find something of their own latent power in order to discover their own solutions to these questions.
