四季彩舎では新進気鋭のアーティストによるグループ展、New waveを開催いたします。
今展覧会は、平面作品から角谷紀章、小林繭乃。立体作品は三平硝子、瀬戸 優、平良光子の作品展示します。
今回セレクトした5名はONE ART TAIPEI 2023、ART FAIR TOKYO 2023にて出展した四季彩舎でも注目しているアーティストとなります。
角谷紀章は、作品を通して他者に想像させることをコンセプトに制作しています。すりガラス越しの景色からイメージした「Frosted Window」、カーテン越しからイメージした景色「Curtain」シリーズといった、鑑賞者の視知覚を妨げるノイズを配置し、ノイズ越しの景色を想像させることで絵画世界に没入感を促すような作品を制作しています。
小林繭乃は日本画の技法を用いて、今考えている事柄や、日常、喜怒哀楽、記憶など、流動的な頭の中のイメージを動物や化け物として具象化させ、自身の頭の中の住人として表現しています。
三平硝子は生活の中で見た人々や、自分自身に起きた出来事・自分のコンプレックス、 社会現象や世の中に起きた事件などを頭の中でモンスター化し、表現しています。
ボロシリケイトガラスと呼ばれる強化ガラスの一種を使用し、ガラスをバーナーの火の中に入れて溶かしながらモチーフを形成するバーナーワークと呼ばれる技法で制作しています。
瀬戸優は、野生動物をモチーフとした彫刻作品を制作しています。
彫刻の素材であるテラコッタ(土器)は作家の触覚や軌跡がダイレクトに表面に現れ、躍動感のある作品となっています。
また、国内外のアートフェアにも多数参加しております。
平良光子は、生き物の形を用いて、静謐な世界を木彫により制作しているアーティストです。
聖書や詩、民話などから着想を得て、物語の一場面を詩情あふれる作品として表現しています。
本展では各アーティストの新作、近作を展示します。
この機会に是非「新しい波」を体感いただければ幸いです。

Kisho Kakutani
Kisho Kakutani (b. 1993, Kobe, Hyogo, Japan) completed his PhD in Japanese Painting at Tokyo University of the Arts in 2022. Using everyday snapshots taken with his smartphone as source material, he creates paintings that explore the ambiguity of memory and visual perception. In series such as *Frosted Window* and *Curtain*, Kakutani deliberately obscures parts of the image with visual noise resembling frosted glass or curtains, inviting viewers to complete what is unseen through their own memories and imagination. His practice reconsiders the act of seeing in an age of visual overload, positioning painting as a device for generating new images within the viewer’s mind.

Shoko Mihira
Shoko Mihira
Born in Tokyo in 1979.
His work explores a unique world of monsters, shaped by inner emotions and personal experiences drawn from everyday life.
Using burner-work techniques, he melts and forms glass tubes into intricate shapes,
encasing liquids and threads to visualize an internal world.
Both humorous and enigmatic, his creatures evoke a distinct sense of narrative and lingering presence.

Yu Seto
Yu Seto (b. 1994, Odawara, Kanagawa, Japan) graduated from the Department of Sculpture at Tokyo University of the Arts and completed his MFA in Sculpture at the same university. Drawing on his interest in natural science, he creates sculptures of wild animals, primarily using terracotta. By leaving traces of his touch and the sculpting process visible on their surfaces, Seto explores the structures and movements of living beings and the essence of their existence. In addition to exhibiting in Japan and internationally, his practice extends across disciplines, including collaborations in fashion and design.
