ABOUT
We are pleased to announce that the Adachi Shouhei Exhibition is now open this week. Mr. Adachi explores "something that cannot be captured by things like color and shape" based on the sense he obtained through classical calligraphy. The shades of ink that spread endlessly might be able to capture even the important "sounds". With that in mind, this exhibition features about 20 works that express the shadow of sound in ink.
Born in Tokyo in 1976, Adachi has been studying calligraphy since childhood. He graduated from the Japanese Painting Department of Tama Art University in 1999. From 2000 to 2002, he studied at the Chinese National Academy of Fine Arts as a scholarship student from the Chinese government. In 2002, he held a solo exhibition at Long Sun Cheng Gallery in Beijing. In 2006, he participated in the group exhibition "Resonance Japanese Painting Four-Person Exhibition" at Key Gallery in Ginza and "8-Person Exhibition" at Gallery Ishikawa in Kamiooka. In 2007, he participated in the group exhibition "Resonance Japanese Painting Four-Person Exhibition" at Art Space Roshinban in Kyobashi and was selected for the Ueno Royal Museum Grand Prize Exhibition. In 2008, he participated in the Japanese Painting Small Works Exhibition at Art Space Roshinban in Kyobashi, and in 2009, he held a solo exhibition at the same gallery. In 2011, he participated in "Men's Ink, Women's Ink" at Shibata Etsuko Gallery in Ginza. In 2013, he held a solo exhibition "SUMI OTO" at Kamiya Art in Nihonbashi and "SUMIOTO VOL.2 Kasuka" at Ikebukuro Seibu. In 2014, he participated in the group exhibition "Function Exhibition" at Shibuya Seibu. In 2015, he held a solo exhibition "Oto Kage Otoi Ro" at Shibuya Seibu.
