Chihiro Kabata creates her artwork with ball - point pen by repeatedly drawing and overlapping lines to give the strength. Yuuri Kabata covers canvas by repeating strokes and patterns with her original method. However they have been working individually, they share the studio, and it is remarkable that not only the tone and color but the point of view of their work give us common impression.
Both of them give the extent of the picture with repetitive simple work. Although this simple method generates difference between each artworks, which might be the results of their well balanced instinctive judgment.
In this exhibition, their styles are assimilated to hold one title and sharing exhibiting space. Their new works may have been created in the stimulating environment, and It will be their chronological exhibition.

Exhibition Highlight
Featured Artists
Chihiro Kabata
In Kabata's drawings accumulated delicate ink lines are transformed into powerful vision. She only uses ball-point pen and works on inkjet paper or acrylic board day after day creating deep and strong images. Through her constant movement and extraordinary patience, unexpectedly large works will fill the space, as was the case in MOT Annual 2011. While keeping her credited works by ball-point pen, she challenges some other media such as resinous drawing on mirror or hand-painting of oil, or further, installation with water-pool or tapes, all echoing with her question on the grasping of the invisibles.
