[Exhibition Overview]
Bursting with color and life
The largest-ever exhibition of work by a painter whose 25 years on earth were genius in motion
Koji Nakazono (1989–2015) was a creator of unforgettable paintings of jewel-like chromatic variety. Based in the Kanto region following his graduation from Tokyo University of the Arts, Nakazono then found himself drawn to the climate and character of Kagawa, on the Seto Inland Sea, and in 2014 moved there, only to tragically pass away the following year at the age of twenty-five.
As well as being the products of Nakazono’s own personal inner necessity, the many paintings that emerged from this young artist’s sublime aesthetic sensibility evoke the torrent of images flooding the world today, and as such, speak to the depths of our consciousness with considerable force.
When I look at a thing, I need someone alongside, looking with me.
So the artist wrote in his notebook. Soulmate presents some 200 of Nakazono’s paintings, making it the largest-ever exhibition of his work in Kagawa, his last home. Doubtless that “thing” he was looking at will make itself known, through this wealth of his work.
