Satoru Kurata's First European Solo Exhibition in Cremona
The Triangolo gallery is showcasing 'Everyday, Mostly Night, Sometimes Daylight,' marking the first solo exhibition in Europe for Japanese artist Satoru Kurata. This event takes place in the former theatre of the Church of San Luca, located in Cremona. The exhibition presents a collection of new oil paintings that merge influences from Japanese culture with Western artistic styles. Kurata's unique figures oscillate between human and animal representations, inspired by his personal memories and childhood. His art delves into psychological themes through dual viewpoints depicted as split images on a single surface. By utilizing repetition and transitioning between digital and traditional painting, Kurata allows meanings to surface organically, often portraying scenes of dawn and dusk to evoke emotional shifts. The exhibition positions Kurata as a rising talent in modern Japanese art.
