Serendipity (Phantasm), 2024, mixed media, 136.0 x 136.0 x 2.6 cm
MAKI Gallery is pleased to present Mythic Threads, an exhibition by Japanese artist Asami Kiyokawa shown at our Tennoz gallery space. Building upon her special exhibition Mystic Weave: Stitching Myth held at Kirishima Open-Air Museum in Kagoshima Prefecture during the summer of 2024, Kiyokawa strives through her upcoming show to reimagine the ongoing human narrative from past to future at the intersection of nature and urbanity, tradition and technology.
Kiyokawa’s artistic journey has evolved from her early works that dealt with personal emotions and introspection to her current pieces that address societal and global themes. Yet, at the core of her practice remains a steadfast commitment to questioning the essence of humanity. Kiyokawa is deeply driven by a desire to inspire novel perspectives on themes such as nature and urbanity, tradition and technology, and the individual and societal. Through this exhibition, she invites viewers into the realm of myth, offering a space in which to explore values for a new era together. We warmly encourage you to visit and experience this thought-provoking exhibition.
