Tokyo’s prestigious Gallery Koyanagi is thrilled to announce its upcoming exhibition, “Gallery selection,” which will run from July 4 to August 21, 2024. This extraordinary showcase will feature the unveiling of a breakthrough piece from Mark Manders, alongside other impressive works from Thomas Ruff, Hiroshi Sugimoto, and Ebosi Yuasa.

Mark Manders’s new sculpture bridges the gap between abstract and reality, creating a unique landscape through an ethereal green-blue tint. Manders ingeniously employs the color in innovative ways, sometimes combining it with his own Fake Newspapers. The color in his latest masterpiece might represent the color of the sky during the daytime, as suggested in the title “Day Scene.”

Alongside Manders’s work, the exhibition will feature Thomas Ruff’s “ma.r.s,” which is based on images of Mars captured by NASA’s exploration ship. The powerful images stir the imagination and make you ponder the mysteries of the vast universe.

Meanwhile, Hiroshi Sugimoto’s “Theater,” captures the essence of time in a single shot. This one-of-a-kind photograph manages to encapsulate the entirety of a movie within its frame, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a journey through time.

Finally, abstract paintings by Ebosi Yuasa, previously exhibited at the National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo, will also be on display. Yuasa’s work challenges traditional perspectives and pushes the boundaries of abstract art.

In addition to the Gallery Koyanagi exhibition, art enthusiasts will also have the opportunity to see Manders’s “Composition with Four Yellow Verticals (2017-19)” at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, from June 22 to October 14, in a show titled “Lines —Aligning your consciousness with the flow.”

Join us in experiencing these captivating works and celebrating the passion, creativity, and genius of these highly renowned artists.
