TAB Event - Taro Izumi "Jungle Book"

This event has ended.
At Gallery Stump Kamakura
Media: Installation, Art Party, Art Talk

Taro Izumi creates humorous drawings, video and 3D works out of everyday products and introduces them in the form of an installation. In this exhibition entitled "Jungle Book", Izumi presents exploratory work that artfully utilizes a house as an exhibition space.
Nowadays, with the rapid growth of the Japanese art market, there have been more and more platforms for exposure and fields of opportunity provided for the benefit of aspiring young artists. In this context, Izumi's use of an alternative exhibition venue has especial resonance. For artists, "alternative spaces", "galleries" and "museums" are not merely sites that enable them to climb the creative ladder, so to speak; they function equally as necessary spaces for them to balance their various creative activities. As more and more artists begin to present their works in different locales, viewers will start experiencing different ways of approaching and appreciating their works as well.
Izumi's work springs from his own apartment room and its vicinity. The weaknesses and earnest efforts of people living there, their honesty that comes out of both good and bad intentions, their means of bettering their daily lives... such are the messages embedded in Izumi's work, leaving precious impressions on viewers' minds.
