HIROKO KOSHINO

“Hiroko Koshino The Nature” is being hosted at KH Gallery.
You can see colors and shapes that resemble vestiges and minerals that have been excavated, in paintings by Koshino. This exhibit is a collection of profound and dignified paintings that are contrastive with works that have flamboyant hues, by expressing nature and the passage of time. These paintings, with their elegant hues of gold, silver, and black, are not merely decorative, as they have appearances resembling natural objects that have existed since the distant past, such as minerals and celestial bodies. Also, the shapes and shadows of her relief works resemble land forms that were created by the passage of time. Her obsession with texture has created art in which you can see her attention to detail.
While painting, she comes closer to expressions of nature. Also, she reconstructs ancient materials and leads us to new ones. In our current generation in which artificial items are mass produced, these pieces are valuable expressions of art. By all means, come and imagine the eternal flow of time within nature.

“Hiroko Koshino Exhibit —COLORS—” will be hosted at the Isetan Shinjuku Store, Main Building, 5th Floor Art Gallery.
At this exhibit, pictures and fashion drawings that she has been working on, in addition to newly painted plates, will be exhibited at the same time, while a large number of colorful creations will be shown to the public at the same time. Her graffiti series, a collection of paintings she painted while being inspired by the graffiti she saw while on a trip in Greece, is one of her most colorful series. These are illustrations in which a large number of pictures drawn on small panels are rhythmically arranged, producing a space with an abundance of colors. Each piece is unique, and viewing all of them at once conjures up the image of streets and playgrounds, and these pieces can be appreciated individually or at the same time. Also, fashion drawings showing the fruits of her progress as a designer will be exhibited at the same time. More than 30 of her unpublished fashion drawings that have been newly reborn as giclee* prints will be exhibited to the public for the first time. Furthermore, the new painted plates that have been created thanks to the help of the NIKKO COMPANY will be exhibited. A variety of color tones are drawn on these white plates, and the phrase “Living with Art”, a concept of Koshino, is inscribed on each one.
These paintings, plates, and fashion drawing giclee prints will be collected together and put on display and on sale. KH Gallery is a place where guests can encounter different charms. By all means, experience both art and fashion through a colorful and energetic world.
