With the help of natural mineral pigments, acrylic, and other materials, Tsujimoto combines his own experiences, the traces of others such as handwriting, and natural forms into ‘loci’, which he supplements with an expressive mixture of monochrome and gold leaf. This complex and delicate interaction of pigments results in a unique texture that can’t be recreated in digital form.
In this exhibition, the artist will offer a new perspective on Grimm fairy tales by incorporating thematic elements that reflect the diversity and independence of contemporary women.
We hope you look forward to seeing the new loci that result when these stories, all of which have transformed as they were passed down through the generations, encounter Tsujimoto’s distinctive artistic sensibility.

Images of female figure inspired by Grimm fairy tales
