We are pleased to present KYOTO, a solo exhibition by Noritake, on view from August 1 through October 31.
During his artist residency in Kyoto, Noritake created a new body of work inspired by the city’s rich traditions, the people he met, the objects he encountered, and the landscapes he explored.
Walking through Kyoto—a city deeply rooted in culture and history—he experienced its unique scenery, everyday life, and meaningful encounters. Each interaction and experience gradually took shape as an illustration, with individual moments connecting to form a larger narrative. Like points coming together to create a surface, this exhibition reflects the time, perspectives, and relationships Noritake cultivated during his stay in Kyoto.
Reception Party
August 1, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM (scheduled)
Location: In front of the gallery
Admission: Free
Everyone is welcome. We hope you’ll join us to celebrate the opening of the exhibition.
8月1日から10月31日までNoritake氏のギャラリー展示が行われます。
展示名「KYOTO」
今回の滞在制作では、Noritake氏が京都に滞在し、制作活動を行う中で、京都に根付く伝統や、この街で出会った人々、もの、風景との対話から生まれたイラストレーションを展示します。
京都という文化都市を歩き、その土地ならではの景色や営み、人との出会いを重ねながら、一つひとつの交流・体験が作品として形を成していきました。点のような出会いがつながり、一つの面として立ち現れる。Noritake氏が京都で紡いだ時間と視点を映し出す展示となります。
