Misato Kurimune “From the Extreme of Subcutaneous to the Return to Reason”

Tezukayama Gallery

This event has ended.

Born in 1988, Misato Kurimune established her unique concept and style whilst studying at the Kyoto Seika University. She is now based in her hometown of Kobe where she continues to work. Kurimune has been creating works based on black and white photographs, printed on fabric and then painted over with cosmetics or silver powder, techniques perfected during her days as a print making student at university. The base is questions of all existence and beauty, intimate of life and time. In this exhibition, her first at Tezukayama Gallery in three years, Kurimune has focused on herself as a 27 year old Japanese woman, making a bold attempt to use only self-portraits and finally confront her own self.
The title of this exhibition is inspired by the 1923 film “The Return to Reason” by Man Ray (1890-1976) . One’s mental image of the self is “The Extreme of Subcutaneous” as it cannot be visible to others, for this, a turn to art made visible, a homage to surrealism that Kurimune decided to name this exhibition “The Extreme of Subcutaneous to The Return to Reason.”
