Yoshimi Arts is pleased to hold the exhibition, “Insight 31”.
The “Insight” series is a regular exhibition that primarily showcases the work of artists from Yoshimi Arts, with each exhibition featuring a different theme. This 31st edition focuses on the theme of “something familiar”.
Artwork is frequently inspired by interactions with familiar environments and the everyday objects used within them. As a result, pieces crafted from repurposed ready-made items or discarded materials often embody satire, humor, and kitsch.
When considering the familiar, one cannot overlook the advent of new devices, such as hand-sized smartphones. These devices have allowed individuals and small groups to disseminate various types of information through social media and other platforms, significantly influencing the wider public.
The five featured artists in this exhibition are adept in their respective fields, having used their insights to create artwork that expands upon the foundations of art history. As you enjoy our exhibition, we hope you will ponder on the “something familiar” aspect that is present in each work.
We look forward to your visit to our gallery.
