Toko Shinoda Exhibition "Bridge Over Fleeting Dreams" will be held at Musée Tomo

2022.04.28(Thu)


 



Toko Shinoda (1913-2021) was an artist who pioneered abstract expression using ink while making "writing" a fundamental part of her work in the deeply rooted fields of Japanese culture. Her work ranged from calligraphy, abstract paintings, prints, and other two-dimensional works, as well as large-scale works such as architectural walls, to essays in which she wrote about her creativity and views on life with delicate brushstrokes. In the more than 70 years since her twenties before the Pacific War, she has been a rare example of an artist who, while keeping abreast of the changes of the times and embracing the new, has also maintained her own sense of beauty and continued to demonstrate the possibilities of ink painting.


The Musée Tomo has held solo exhibitions of Toko Shinoda as a museum that has a strong connection with the artist and exhibits her works on a permanent basis, thanks to the relationship between the founder, Tomo Kikuchi (1923-2016), and the artist. This exhibition will commemorate the artist, who passed away last year at the age of 107, and introduce her creations once again.
