Yoji Kumagai: 凹

With his recent June exhibition at SEIZAN GALLERY TOKYO凸, Yoji Kumagai unlocked a new direction for his artistic practice. Known for works that are strongly conscious of the traditional Japanese concept of blank space, the intervals that exist in his frames are not mere expanses of white but a dimension all their own, filled with meaning. In this new exhibition, the artist emphasizes the silence associated with “blank space” and conversely attempts to evoke the invisible sounds found therein.
