About the event
Tadaaki Kuwayama & Rakuko Naito: In Silence: An Ode to Nothing｜Exhibition Introduction
Whitestone Gallery Hong Kong is pleased to present a duo exhibition featuring the esteemed artist Tadaaki Kuwayama, who sadly passed away last summer, and his wife, artist Rakuko Naito, chronicling the exceptional artistic prowess they have honed through their decades-long careers. With a lapidary selection of works spanning from the 1960s to the present day, this exhibition opens a visual dialogue between Kuwayama's serialized art forms and Naito's exploration in neutral materials. In 1958, upon the artists' relocation to New York, Kuwayama and Naito created works to eschew the early Nihonga training (Japanese traditional painting) and the rave of Abstract Expressionism trend. Instead, they developed their own distinctive styles. Despite their individual trajectories, there remains a thematic similarity between them — a rejection of aesthetic conventions in favor of achieving a sense of nothingness.
