Concurrent collection exhibition "Mitsuru Tokutomi ─ Universe on the Table" Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art, Toyota Municipal Museum of Art
The Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art and the Toyota Municipal Museum of Art will host the exhibition "Mitsuru Tokutomi ─ Universe on the Table."
Mitsuru Tokutomi (1966-2001), born in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, is an artist whose vivid handiwork reveals the subtle gaps between perception and recognition, as well as speculations about the form and identity of things. After graduating from Tokyo College of the Arts, Tokutomi went to London to study abroad with the Aichi Prefecture Scholarship for Budding Artists. By exploring the act of seeing things in depth and combining the physical sense of scale with the astronomical sense of distance and size, she was able to give form to her unique thoughts. In 2000, however, he was diagnosed with acute leukemia, after which he returned to Japan. in 2001, he passed away at the age of only 35 amid high expectations for his future success.
Since 2016, the Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art and the Toyota Municipal Museum of Art have been researching and collecting works from the artists' surviving families. This is the first retrospective exhibition in 17 years since "plus, minus, infinity" (Tomio Koyama Gallery, 2006). We will present the complete painting of Mitsuru Tokutomi, an artist who has independently created a variety of works.
The exhibition will be held at two venues: the Aichi Prefectural Art Museum and the Toyota City Art Museum. Please note that the exhibition period, opening hours, closing days, admission prices, etc. are different for each venue.
