【Now on View: 100th Anniversary Exhibition, Soichiro Tomioka｜A World of White】
Soichiro Tomioka｜A World of White (organized by the Japan Art Interhitence Organization) is now on view in √K Contemporary's basement, Space √K.

A collaboration between √K Contemporary and the Japan Art Interhitence Association, an organization that aims to entrust legacies of the past unto future generations, Soichiro Tomioka｜A World of White was planned with the intention to help foster and preserve the history of Japanese art.

Reminding viewers of, both, humanity's place within nature and ensuing feelings of awe, Tomioka's bird-eye works render perspectives that present views of natural landscapes that are seen, not from the perspective of humans, but of something larger. Through these humbling, omniscient scenes, these works present the notion that humanity resides in a world of unforeseen phenomena that transcends human comprehension, exists within nature's embrace, and is alive for just a moment within the eternal passage of time.
