Ryoichi Kurokawa's First Italian Solo Show at Galleria Civica di Modena

Japanese artist Ryoichi Kurokawa (Osaka, 1978) presents his first solo exhibition at an Italian institution, titled 'al-jabr', at Galleria Civica di Modena. The show, installed at Palazzo Santa Margherita, features recent works including audiovisual installations, sculptures, and digital prints. The series 'lttrans' (2018) and 'renature::bc class' (2015) appear as flowers and insects from afar but reveal digital filaments up close, echoing the Kintsugi philosophy of reconstruction. The audiovisual piece 'unfold.alt' (2016) draws from astrophysics to depict star and galaxy formation, while 'oscillating continuum' (2013) explores the balance between cosmic and microscopic scales. Kurokawa cites Charles Eames as a key influence and emphasizes the reconstruction of nature through digital manipulation. He values exhibiting digital art in classical spaces, noting the unexpected added value. Future plans include an audiovisual concert premiere next year.
