Hiroko Uehara “Deep Forest”

Tezukayama Gallery

This event has ended.

Hiroko Uehara creates her sculptures inspired by Japanese animism with a combination of plants and humans. By utilizing her skill of painting in detail, which was acquired through her early career, her creations are brought to life. Their realistically soft, sensitive skin; combined with gentle expressions, are the results of some unique mystical creatures emitting divine, pure, and vital energy.
Her exhibition in 2016 was her first ever outside of Japan. Titled “Deep Forest”, it took place at Aki Gallery in Taipei. All three floors of the gallery were placed with sculptures, lined with moss and bushes, creating the fantastic world of the artist’s imagination. The exhibition was exceptionally well received. This exhibition at Tezukayama Gallery is a reconstructed version of the prior Deep Forest, with additional new works. Visitors of the show can expect to imagine in their own way the mysterious life of Uehara’s creatures.
