About the Exhibition

Since the 1960s to today, Kawaguchi Tatsuo (b. 1940) has worked through a consistent approach in which he uses various materials to visualize hidden relationships among substances or between substances and human beings. Presenting his new works in addition to earlier important pieces, this exhibition also involves various relationships that will kindle our imagination around time and life as we explore them.
