鞆岡隆史・鈴木祥太二人展-四季のうつろい-: Takashi Tomo-oka and Shota Suzuki Exhibition - Four Seasons

As seasons change, the appearances of plants are transforming.

The plants grow little by little, year by year, and these transformations are repeated.

While people’s minds oscillate between happiness and sadness due to various reasons, the plants live unwaveringly.

I am fascinated by their presences that look sometimes strong, sometimes frail.

--Takashi Tomo-oka

I’ve always loved “utsuroi”(transformation, movement, change) since I was a small child. 

From the window of my house, I endlessly stared at clouds moving, and I was transfixed by grasses and trees swaying in my beloved garden. It was comfortable to feel the time and wind with my own eyes, ears and skin.  “Utsuroi” expresses a change and a stream of time. Because things change as time passes, their looks at each moment are beautiful, and this makes me want to remember them with my eyes and mind.   

I’d like to convey the beauty of transformation of nature through my artworks. 

--Shota Suzuki
