NOHGA HOTEL UENO TOKYO× 3331 Arts Chiyoda　Sugimoto Katsuya Solo Exhibition“difference”

3331 TRANS, the creative team at 3331 Arts Chiyoda, will hold the solo exhibition "difference" by Sugimoto Katsuya at NOHGA HOTEL UENO TOKYO from August 2 (Tue.) to November 29 (Tue.), 2022.
This exhibition comprises four artwork series: the "Nothing" series, which intentionally reproduces titles and dates that are usually noted on the back of artwork; the "Palindrome" series, where motifs are the same read forwards or backwards; the "Idolization" series, which presents an actual oil paint palette paired with a painting imitating it precisely; and the "Mirror" series, presenting collage alongside a faithful reproduction in oil paint. We hope that visitors receive a flash of inspiration and a quiet moment to contemplate differences in things beyond one's sight through the range of the artist's artwork and experimental moments that emerge as one forms an impression of the artwork.
