Wakana Yamauchi
Coinciding with the 10th anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake and the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, Maruki Gallery presents an exhibition by Wakana Yamauchi, an artist who has actively covered meadows in Fukushima and recently visited Hiroshima to search for traces left by the atomic bomb.
Yamauchi depicts “small lives” at the mercy of times in her paintings. She creates complex matière by painting the surface through the repetition of various processes: applying multiple layers of sumi ink and paint onto Japanese paper and occasionally wiping off the painted surface, washing it away, and scraping it off with sandpaper.
The Beginning of the Beginning expresses taking a step forward to a hopeful future while embracing sadness.
