Exhibitions | MAKI Gallery | MAKI

MAKI Gallery and Gallery COMMON are pleased to announce the concurrent hosting of two solo exhibitions by Aichi-based artist Keisuke Tada. Tada’s debut show with MAKI Gallery, titled Phantom Emotion, will be held at the Omotesando gallery space and present a body of work that evinces the artist’s strong fascination for the relationship between real and fabricated constructs. Traversing the obscure boundary that separates reality and fiction, he creates paintings that capture the essence of his central theme: the conflict between ‘being there’ and ‘not’. When confronted with Tada's works, our bodies are transported to a place where notions of time and space lose their function, evoking a sense of disorientation in our perception and awareness.

Phantom Emotion features approximately 100 works from the artist’s Paintings of incomplete remains and Heaven’s Door series. Please take this opportunity to venture into a world hovering between existence and non-existence, one that is shaped by Tada's exceptional skills and creative ingenuity.
