HIROKO KOSHINO

KH Gallery Ashiya will hold the exhibition entitled "Hiroko Koshino: The Composition – Aesthetics of Arrangement –". Composition is an important artistic element in paintings. This exhibition will present various compositions in Koshino's works, such as the color composition which is also used in fashion design, the balance between margins and Sumi ink in ink works, and the calligraphy designs. They will be displayed in diverse arrangements as an attempt at space composition.
The exhibits will change in each period and include works of diverse genres, from colorful works to ink works and calligraphies. Please enjoy the aesthetics formed by Koshino's works created with her flexible sense and the imposing architectural space designed by Mr. Tadao Ando.
