Inagaki Hiroko (稲垣弘子) Exhibition at Gallery-403 (ギャラリー403) - (2012/09)

This exhibition (2012/09/09-15) by Inagaki Hiroko (稲垣弘子) at Gallery-403 (ギャラリー403) consisted of multiple-layer pictures incorporating a transparent layer in front, with background colors that move relative to front-drawn elements as you walk by the pictures.  Not just a three-dimensional effect, but actually three-dimensional.  [2012/03 Exhibition]

この展示会は、数枚立体的な絵でした。 透明所とカラフルバックグラウンドのコンビは面白かったでした。

This exhibition/installation (2012/09/17-22) by Kanai Sawako (カナイサワコ) at Ai Gallery (藍ギャラリー) was an interesting experience.  The paper boats almost looked as though they were painted onto the floor.  このインストレーションは、結構面白かったです。

Takahashi Mariko (高橋まり子) Exhibition at Jungaro (純画廊) - (2012/09)

This exhibition (2012/09/17-09/22)) by Takahashi Mariko (高橋まり子) at Jungaro (純画廊) consisted of nihonga paintings similar to the one featured on the promotional card.  I really like this artist's pictures - they give you the same settled feeling you get when going to some place of natural beauty - a wordless feeling of contentment.  この展示会は、DM絵葉書のような日本画でした。 どういう表現がいいのか、良く分かりませんが、なんだか大自然の場所に行っているの感じ?  [2010 Exhibition (2010年の展示)], [2011 Exhibition (2011年の展示)]

Isono Michiko (磯野迪子) Exhibition at Lixil Gallery - (2012/09)

This installation (2012/09/03-27) by Isono Michiko (磯野迪子) at Lixil Gallery consisted of views of large apartment buildings.  Looking at the projected views on the walls of the gallery, I contemplated the fascination of looking at large concrete buildings full of residences.  It's kind of like looking at a living library shelf, with recorded worlds residing inside books on the one hand, and living worlds residing within each of the many apartments in each building on the other.  このインストレーションは、DM絵葉書のような写真でした。 まず、動画と思いましたが、良く見ると、写真から写真へのトランジションの感じでした。 東京のアパートやマンションは、面白い; 外から見ると、色々な世界がある見たいな感じ?

This exhibition (2012/08/27-09/01) by Hamada Maki (浜田麻希) at Gallery-58 consisted of pictures in the style of the one featured on the promotional card.  An interesting feature of these pictures were the physical items attached to the surface of the painting.  この展示会は、DM絵葉書のような絵でした。 絵の上に、物が付いているのは、面白かったです。

Harai Kenji (原井憲二展) Exhibition at Gallery Kobo (巷房) - (2012/09)

This exhibition (2012/09/03-08) by Harai Kenji (原井憲二) at Gallery Kobo (巷房) needed to be seen from a certain distance.  I initially walked into the room and looked very closely at the paper in frames... "Hmm... paper with holes of various sizes creating shading..." and then later, from the other side of the room saw that it was one large photograph, with basically halftone-printing style dots (holes in this case) of varying sizes making up a picture - as you can see from the promotional card.

この展示会は、まず抽象的な紙と思って、それから作品を離れて見ると「あっ! 写真だ!」見えて来た。 黒い所は、穴でした!

This exhibition (2012/08/27-09/01) by Mikami Satoshi (三上智展) at Gallery Hinoki (ギャラリー檜) presumably consisted of pictures in the style of the promotional card picture - but I missed the exhibition, so this image is all I've seen.  I like this picture a lot though, so I'm posting it.
