Shirokane Art Complex Openings
The first shows of the New Year in the Shirokane art complex were a bit underwhelming. Kodama gallery held a group show "ignore your perspective 11" featuring the works of Sunao Horikawa, Masahiro Sekiguchi, Keisuke Sugimoto, Hidekazu Tanaka, Mayuko Wada and Shuhei Yagi. Some of the artists represented were moved up in the ranks from the second floor (young artist) space in the gallery's Kyoto space to the gallery's Tokyo space.
Another group show, at Nanzuka Underground, combined the works of the Tokyo-based Hiroki Tsukuda and Tomoo Gokita and a young Belgian artist Rinus van de Velde. The exhibition was loosely based on the theme of graphic representation, showcasing the ability of the three artists to handle the subtleties of gray scale.
Yamamoto Gendai, who is currently having one of their artists as the subject of a spectacularly produced solo show at the Mori museum, started the 2011 with a solo show of Tiger Tateishi's work. Online Radar presented three large canvases that have been held in a corporate collection from 1994 (the time of their production) until now.

Yukiko Suto "Field Exhibition"
Take Ninagawa just opened a new exhibition of large scale panels by Yukiko Sato. Each of the four images, done in a combination of pencil and oil on gesso-covered panels took months to produce, and Sato's effort can only be properly appreciated through a close examination of these meticulously rendered landscapes. The paintings originate in photographs taken by the artist, but little of the ease and informality we associate with nature remains in the final product, the aestheticized version of the landscapes. Sato's visual recollections—every blade of grass, every flower bud, every little rock rendered in a hyper-realist way—render live nature symbolic. The works, for the most part monochrome, owning to the the dominant graphite of the pencil, are punctuated with matte blotches of color which appears to float upon the surface of the support. It is as if we are witnessing a transformation of an embodied landscape into an imagined one: colors and lines fading away, blankness of the panel seeping through and finally taking over.
