The world-renowned calligrapher Shisyu will hold an exhibition entitled "The Power of Art 2023" at the "Takashimaya Museum & Takashimaya Art Department: The Power of Art 2023" from May 24 (Wed) to 28 (Sun), 2023, at the Kyoto Takashimaya Department Store.
Shisyu's works, which include "three-dimensional calligraphy" that frees "calligraphy" from the constraints of flat surfaces and traditional culture, and "calligraphy paintings" that fuse calligraphy with painting, are unique contemporary artworks that reconstruct traditional culture from a new perspective. The new series, which will be presented for the first time in Kyoto, incorporates elements such as ink, silver, and sulfur to create a "new calligraphy" that fuses Western art and Japanese culture.
The new expression that combines depth and deep fascination, which may be mistaken for classical painting, is burned into the eyes of the viewers.
During the exhibition, Shisyu is also scheduled to be at the venue on Saturday, the 27th.
