Yasutake Iwana
Taguchi Fine Art is pleased to announce the fifth solo show by a Japanese painter, Yasutake Iwana during above period.
Yasutake Iwana was born in 1987 in Mie prefecture. After his graduation from the painting course of Seian University of Art and Design in Kyoto in 2010, he stayed in Germany, studying at Art Academy in Düsseldorf as a guest student until 2012. He won the second prize at Art Award Tokyo in 2010, the first Mie TV Grand Prize in 2016, and the 19th Mie Prefecture Culture Award for New Artist in 2020. Currently living and working in his hometown, Shimagahara village in Mie. He has had a number of solo exhibitions at galleries in Osaka and Tokyo, and has had increasing opportunities to exhibit his works at museums, including “New-wave Artists in Mie“ at Mie Prefectural Art Museum in 2015, “Aomori EARTH 2019” at Aomori Museum of Art in 2019, and “#StayMuseum” at Mie Prefectural Art Museum in 2020.
He is a founding representative of the art group, “Mitsunoki (tree with sap)“ in Shimagahara village organized in 2013 and is leading various activities deeply rooted in its local history, climate and culture. Recently this group is really noticed as an example of Art-Collective and Localism in contemporary art. His paintings are created in this activity, of which motifs are the nature and the religion in the village. In many case he starts the work from concrete objects around him, they are, however, highly abstract and really sophisticated.
On this occasion, installed are new paintings painted after his last solo show, based on the motif of stone Buddhist image or the image overlapping the nitrous smoke and mushroom clouds that are increasingly seen in war reports these days with fungi such as mushrooms and molds that are familiar in our daily life.
