CADAN YURAKUCHO will present a solo exhibition of Ibuki Minami “Art-Core-Oneness” , organized by rin art association based in Takasaki, Gunma.

Ibuki Minami is a Japanese painter, who has been highly acclaimed since his debut exhibition in 2020.

Minami’s painting begins with the drawing of graphs depicting how information flows diverge and relate to each other. It functions as a set of instructios for paintings to be drawn on top.

An unlimited range of colors and shades applied on Minami’s tableau is further accentuated by his impasto brushstrokes and rhythmic compositions. The simple geometric patterns of textured color—some rectangular, circular, or dots in various arrangements—overlaid by one another or connected with directional lines. The painting can thus be interpreted as the architecture of a networked world, where the conceptual dimension of Minami’s practice emerges.

To describe his art-making, Minami uses the word ‘art core’, often referencing concepts from Eastern philosophy such as “ying yang”. Just as DNA contains the genetic information necessary for organisms, the art core preserves all possible source codes, which unfolds materially, conceptually or spiritually through Minami’s act of painting. The artist identifies no border between science, art and philosophy, considering that all are inseparable from one another and indispensable to human life—a realm of the unknown harnessed by the word, “art core”.

Ibuki Minami, born in 1995, holds a BMA in Fine Art, Academy of Art University, San Francisco. Minami lives and works in Tokyo, Japan, since 2020.

Abstraction !

MISAKO & ROSEN have organized the exhibition “Abstraction!” for CADAN Yurakucho.
Free from working according to any ideological framework, the best of contemporary painting exists as a record of the particular experiments of the particular artist who created the work. Without trying to be expressive or non-expressive, representational or otherwise, the paintings exist literally as paintings. The literal quality of the paintings is at once simple, with the works consisting of the materials out of which they were created and complex, in so far as what a painting means differs from artist to artist, viewer to viewer. In the case of contemporary painting, the story and relationship between paintings in the artist’s oeuvre is of equal importance as any relationship to “art” history. However abstract, each work in “Abstraction!” is also imbued with its own narrative, a story inevitably shaped by the knowledge and experience of its viewer. A common quality of each works is that it invites a type of looking that offers a form of pleasure.

October 19 – November 1, 2020
Curated by Satoko Oe, Satoko Oe Contemporary

What forms and shapes can artists use to capture things and convert them into works? “Format” and “Shape” are words that have a kind of sliding meaning and cause cracks in the ground. I would like to make it an exhibition that you can trace the artist’s thoughts that ooze through the cracks.　– Satoko Oe（Satoko Oe Contemporary）
