Flux: The Contemporary Woodcut By Katasutoshi Yuasa
Visual Arts
Description
Description
Tokyo-based artist Katsutoshi Yuasa’ s work has been shown widely around the world, and is currently exhibited in London, New York and Berlin. Flux consists of monolithic woodcuts never before seen in Hong Kong. The exhibition explores the fundamental theme of nature in the artist’s works and is curated in two sections; the first explores nature in its moving, unstable force and the second in man-made environments or artificial interventions in nature. Although these are themes that have preoccupied Yuasa for much of his career, they have gained significance in light of the traumatic natural disaster on 11th March 2011 in Japan. Beneath the visually romantic images, the show reveals an elegiac technique that portrays not so much a pessimistic but almost a mournful understanding and perception of man and nature in today’s society.
