We are pleased to announce that gallery UG Tennoz will hold a group exhibition of Junko ASANO, Takashi ONISHI, Nami OKADA and LIN Chia Hung's works entitled "Laissez-faire Vol.10" from April 1 (Sat.) to April 15 (Sat.).
Born 1984 in Taiwan, Chia-hung LIN signed exclusively with iart Gallery in 2022, and he is an artist who specializes in using simple and straightforward images and calm and collected emotions to convey social issues and to further raise questions and prompt reflections in people. Lin’s most recognized creative motif is the big-eye girls in his paintings. The girls he paints sometimes appear repressed and dejected, but their melancholic looks have a lovely and adorable charm about them. In addition to focusing on releasing personal emotions through art, the artist also likes to recount short fables based on observations he’s made in life.

In moments when I feel like I’m in a place independent of my surroundings,
I sometimes feel like I’m in a different time and space.
The feeling is like clouds or smoke that change shape with no regard for time
that people have to live by, and it also feels like a space of my own.
To turn, various scenes that came up in my imagination from things I encountered.
To express freedom, time and desires that are on the verge of being discarded from memory.
That is what is important, in order for me to be me and for a person to be them self.
He comes from a family of sculptors who have been practicing Buddhism for generations. Her large works are nearly life-size female figures, while her smaller works are pop and comical animal figures. Having been familiar with statues of gods and Buddha from various periods, he has not hesitated to move toward diverse expressions, and continues to move back and forth between the two energetically.
The motifs chosen by Nami OKADA for her artwork are places she has visited personally. Her artwork arouses feelings of déjà vu and of reaching across time in viewers, whose backgrounds all differ.
Each person forms a distinct impression of a given building or piece of scenery due to the differences in their memories and experiences. Such spaces thus possess a multitude of forms.
It is only when there is commonality in the interpretations of multiple viewers that a given piece of scenery takes on certain meaning.
OKADA brings life to One View by exploring the relationship between pieces of scenery that have taken on meaning due to the overlapping of such commonalities and pieces of scenery whose meaning has yet to take shape.
