Tokyo Nomad Art
For many years, I roamed the city with my artworks, carrying them under my arm or attached to a cart. Despite the logistical challenges of navigating public transportation in a crowded city with large-scale works, I observed the interest and curiosity of the public in such strolls.
My motivation was to find a solution to exhibit works outside the traditional settings of studios and galleries. The general public often hesitates to step into a gallery or museum, feeling intimidated or inadequately knowledgeable. I myself experienced this reluctance. However, the aesthetic appreciation of beauty does not require an art degree. We are all capable, with our senses, of appreciating the arts, distinguishing the beautiful from the ugly, the graceful from the ungraceful, the harmonious from the non-harmonious. Imagine sculptures from ancient Rome in a rice field; the impact would be undeniable.
Hence, the idea was born: if you don't go to art, art will come to you. This philosophy, inspired and adapted from a quote by Lagardère, aims to sensitize the public to artistic creation freely and to spark curiosity. The ultimate goal is to make art more accessible and free.
In this perspective, I want to materialize the Tokyo Nomad Art project. The fundamental idea is to create and promote arts, allowing the public to find us at various locations in the city, transforming Tokyo into a nomadic exhibition.
