Tetsuro Komai
The new exhibition series “Artist Voice” intends to host intimate exhibitions that allow us to intuit an artist’s raw voice and utterances by taking advantage of the distinguishing features of the facility as a small, standalone exhibition space.
This third exhibition features Komai Tetsuro (1920-1976). Komai began making prints as a student at Keio Futsubu (a private junior high school) and consistently explored copperplate engraving throughout his life. He is regarded as a pioneer of copperplate engraving in Japan. This exhibition will display Komai’s prints, original illustrations he provided to the university’s journals “Mita Hyoron” and “Juku,” and materials related to Tetsuro Komai from the Keio University collection. In contrast to Komai’s rigid prints, in which he etched lines through contemplation, his unleashed sketches by pen and brush reveal a more liberated and playful side of the artist.
We hope you enjoy the poetic and humorous world intertwined by ink and paper while tracing the artist’s line.
