Toshio Shibata — The Abstraction of Space
Past: September 14 → October 26, 2013
Technicien hors pair, Toshio Shibata abandonne définitivement le noir et blanc en 2005 pour se consacrer à la couleur. Un langage renouvelé qui permet à l’artiste de produire des images qui s’apparentent à des collages hybrides. Conséquence de cette évolution et fil conducteur de l’exposition : les images de Toshio Shibata quittent le figuratif pour développer un langage quasi abstrait.

Cycle Daido Moriyama — Part. I : Hokkaido-Northern
Past: September 13 → November 6, 2012
In the aftermath of World War II, Japan was a wounded nation. The havoc wreaked by the war still prohibited any kind of travel across the country. While reading school books and magazines, young Moriyama came across the names of the cities of Hokkaido, the archipelago’s large northern island. These names echoed in his mind as exotic a destination.
