Depicting nature’s power to transform
Print Edition
JAPANESE artist Yumi Masuda’s inaugural solo exhibition is on show through March 1 at the Art Projects Gallery in Hong Kong.
Opening on Thursday, “The Transient Diary” is a collection of works reflecting Masuda’s view of how nature, people and everything else are in a state of constant change, assuming multiple roles and displaying transformed — and sometimes opposite — characteristics.
“I don’t present clearly what those new meanings are. I hope you will feel the freedom of the characters by being a part of the painting,” Masuda says.
Born in Fukushima, Masuda’s works convey a sense of inner strength and sublime calmness.
Visiting her home after the twin disasters of the 11 March, 2011 earthquake and nuclear power plant incident that devastated her hometown, she found her garden overgrown with wild plants and flowers. While feeling despondent by the disasters, she felt the positive energy from the plants and became fascinated by the mysterious life force and bilateral character of nature.
Each of her work continually transforms and evolves, very much like how nature works.
