The Nippon Gallery at the Nippon Club, NYC is pleased to present the exhibition, “Colors of the Earth – Nihonga Paintings and Natural Mineral Pigments”, curated around the research done in Japan by Mr. Koan Hashimoto on Iwaenogu (natural mineral pigment).
The exhibition will run from June 20 to July 17, 2019.
The different colors and shade of Iwaenogu depends on the size of the grain. Finer ground particles produce color that is lighter and more pale. Mr. Hashimoto has been receiving attention from the international art world by successfully producing delicate Iwaenogu in pale Japanese colors through modern Nanotechnology.
This exhibition, with the collaboration of Joshibi University of Art and Design and the Society of Powder Technology of Japan, will show not only paintings, but many artworks on a variety of material expressing the delicateness of Iwaenogu.
To show a bold usage of the medium, we are also presenting the artwork of American Nihonga painter, Allan West, who moved to Japan after being fascinated with Iwaenogu. Mr. West finds beauty in the nature that surrounds him, and he expresses that nature with a contemporary and ingenious sensibility that inherits the tradition of the Rimpa School as well as the brushstrokes style unique to the KanoSchool.
We hope you will enjoy and experience the broad expressions that Iwaenogu can produce through the exhibiting artists’ sincere visions and profound thoughts in this medium.
