Waltz of Petals

At this time, biscuit gallery is pleased to present Atsuko Yamashita’s solo exhibition “Petal Waltz” from May 27 to June 13, 2021.

Until now, she has depicted her own endogenous narratives through paintings incorporating drawing techniques, addressing the simplicity and beauty of emotions we possess—the earnestness, sadness, and tenderness of people in love. For this exhibition, Yamashita has offered the following words.

 

For me, reminiscence is accompanied by happiness and sadness.


Memories strong enough to remain in memory are usually extremely positive or negative.

Perhaps that is why I do not like to look back on my own life, and perhaps I even dislike it.

But these two are different.

The reminiscences and memories I draw of these two people are full of happy moments.

I want to depict happiness without interference, and that will never change.

These two people, whose lives in both the present and the past they have lived are filled with joy, are undoubtedly happy.

In this exhibition, with reminiscence as the theme, works are displayed depicting the two people living in Yamashita’s world reflecting on their former selves. At the same time, works from the early stages of her career will also be exhibited at the venue, introducing paintings depicting “the past time when two people are reminiscing,” as depicted in her new works.
We sincerely hope you will take this opportunity to view the exhibition.
