Looking above trees and leaves undersunlight, we can see leaves shinig with different colors. There is no inherent color given to an object, and the colors we see are the effect of light and our sensitivity. Colors we see might be different from what other people are seeing. Forms and colors were two bisic issues for art for many years. Looking at contemporary artists' treatments of colors in their works, their sesitivity to colors or placement of colors in art may look different from those seen in expression of art in the past. In this exhibition, we are to see contempoary placement of colors in works by Kyotaro Hakamada, Tomoji Ogawa, Aki Yamamoto and Shihoko Kobayashi.

Featured Artists
Cutting out the shape of visible objects or their shadows, the artist places and combines them on one canvas overlapping the forms on one above another. The objects sometimes are abstract, and sometimes figurative, often inspired by the landscape that the artist finds in architecture and other elements in the city. The overlapping composition of forms and colors are the characteristics of the artist's paintings.
