gallery UG Tennoz is excited to announce the upcoming solo exhibition, "WORLD EXPANSION" by Keitoku Toizumi, running from Friday, April 19 to Saturday, May 11.
Toizumi shared his thoughts on the exhibition, which is his third solo show at our gallery.
“During the past year, I have spent a lot of time working on new projects to broaden the scope of my own artistic expression.
My goal was to expand my own world by removing the boundaries between original and reproduction, two-dimensional and three-dimensional, and by incorporating new expressions, without being confined to the limited expression of tableaus.
I will present my first edition work, which was created by fusing two tableaus into one, and my first three-dimensional work called "Genie", which appeared by chance from an unintended form, as well as a new world that expands from these pieces.”
Keitoku Toizumi
Toizumi creates intricate stories by carefully arranging an eclectic mix of toys and antique objects. These, along with the Pink Army figures, represent his imaginary universe. During this exploration, Toizumi unwittingly introduced a new character, the "Genie," which expanded his artistic universe. Building on this concept, a new series arises, expressing Toizumi's changing perspective on his creative world.
The exhibition will highlight 15 captivating new pieces, including edition works of Toizumi's renowned Pink Army figures.
We invite you to immerse yourself in this artistic journey and experience Toizumi's boundless imagination firsthand.
