Taka Ishii Gallery is pleased to announce our sixth exhibition, and firstsince 2006,“Emerald” with Dusseldorf-based artist Kyoko Murase. The exhibition willinclude ten new paintings.
Kyoko Murase has been drawing girls since her early works. A girl who wastimidly looking outside from her room eventually opens the door and startsto walk outside.Sometimes enjoying the sense of her body floating in thewater, other times moving into the forest, slipping through the branches,sometimes pausing. And continuing her walk even now, where and what will the girl encounter?
