Yoshimi Arts is pleased to hold the exhibition, “Insight 32”.

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 32nd edition focuses on the theme of “line”.

In Japan painting, when lines are drawn with ink on paper and water is dripped on the lines, they bleed and become a surface like leaves growing from branches.

We hope to have an opportunity to consider “line” to draw, from the works of nine artists, in various media including painting, porcelain, and video, in this exhibition.
