Solo Exhibition Summer Next Door

LURF GALLERY (LURF GALLERY) 1st floor is pleased to present "Summer Next Door," a solo exhibition by Aika Nagano.

Aika Nagano has been exploring the expression of space, which has been considered a "blank space" in Japanese painting, by capturing it as light and depicting it as the "ground" of the picture plane. In addition to the subject to be painted, she also creates a delicate layer of light on the canvas that represents the air surrounding the subject and the shimmering of light, which are signs that do not have form.

The title of this exhibition, "Summer Next Door," is a term used to describe the transition of the season, with signs of summer approaching close at hand. In this exhibition, we will present new works that focus on seasonal changes and signs of time hidden in everyday scenes. We hope you will take this opportunity to view them.

STATEMENT

"Summer next door."

At the time of the grain rain, we feel a hint of summer.
It looks like we are getting close.

The air is warmed by the bright sunshine, and a gentle breeze passes by, carrying the smell of moist soil and fresh greenery.
The soft breeze caressing my cheeks reminds me that the seasons are slowly changing.

Even in everyday life, there are moments when the slightest flicker of light or humidity in the air makes a familiar scene suddenly seem different.
I would like to continue to look at and paint daily landscapes, keeping an eye on such small changes.
