Imura art gallery is proud to present Chihiro Nagashima’s solo exhibition "alien age".

Chihiro Nagashima was born in 1983 in Shizuoka,
she currently lives and works in Tokyo after graduated from Kyoto Saga University of Arts in 2006. She announced the work positively while attending the university and she was nominated for TOKYO WONDER WALL award, 200. Finaly she won the grand prize in 2007.
And she showed her works at her solo exhibition presented at Metropolitan Government Office building, Nagashima uses acril on paper for works, characterised in delicate outline and flat surface of canvas, using different color such as achromatic and pop colors. Portrated figures by her, resident somewhere but here…. The world of her mind that extends constantly can’t be depict by the word painting style neither “Western” nor “Japanese””Illustration”, “Animation”. It is new and remarkable as the original works.

This is her second exhibition at our gallery in 2 years, entitled "alien age". We will show around 10 works including 2 pieces of large works.
It would be greatly appreciated if you could enjoy the conversation with their works.

-------------------------------------


My picture starts from generation of vision.
Images occationally come up to my mind.
Some of them are what I saw in my childhood.
They could not make any form and were only floating.
By receiving some kind of impact, floating things and sensation turn into an image of a picture. 
These images connect each other by facing pure white paper,and link together to be realized as a picture. 
Things cannot be expressed by words, Things I forgot and Things I didn't notice though I saw.
But All of them exist actually on the paper.
Alien age, it is the age that is chaos just as they are.
In the time when someone in somewhere was an alien.
I think their spirits express something in somewhere.
I would like to see what kind of shapes and colors they are by drawing pictures
