Hiroshige FUKUHARA
“Mythology”
Dec. 17, 2016 (Sat.) - Dec. 25, 2016 (Sun.)
Open every day 14-18 in the period above.
Otherwise by appointment till Jan. 8, 2016 (Sun.)
AI KOWADA GALLERY is pleased to present works by Hiroshige Fukuhara in a show titled “Modulation."This is the fourth of Fukuhara’s one man show at the gallery following "Binary” , “Recursion” and “Instantiation” held respectively in 2010, 2012and 2013.
Fukuhara had launched his successful career as an artist when still a student of art at a University by being selected as a finalist for Philip Morris Art Award and participating in a group show in the PS1 MOMA in New York .After graduation, he became a corporate designer for a renowned Japanese company but continued to create his art, by which he enjoyed success at overseas art fairs such as the Armory Show.
The major focus of this exhibition is a tableau of over two meters in width to be on the gallery’s central wall, which shows the image of horses amidst foliage and flowers drawn free hand with pencil over the dark background of black gesso color over the canvas. From distance, the work is but a field of color black. However, when you get close, the dynamic pencil drawings reveal themselves from darkness. The simple technique of drawing with pencil on dark foundation allows the painting to be observed differently depending on the environment and the circumstance. This type of flexibility was an important part of his art which enchanted the collectors,
Along with the painting, the exhibits also include his recent photographical works that show images of natural landscapes somewhat akin to those in the Romantic Art of the 18th Century.
Fukuhara fabricated these images by putting together with Adobe Photoshop software innumerable images of nature collected from abundant resources including the photographs that the artist has taken for himself. The artist says “Generally, in the orthodox method of collage technique, the artists create meaningful space by consciously making explicit the differences between its constituents. Conversely, I try to establish the image continuity by repeating collage and retouching innumerously.” Here, the collected images are appropriated to represent the new elements that has little to do with their original identities to develop a new eco-system in the fictional space of the artist’s creation where they start their new life.
However, because our eyes subconsciously detect the logical irrelevancies carefully concealed underneath the seemingly unified field of Fukuhara’s landscape, we are left with some uncomfortableness. In a way, the space in the series “Mythology” accentuates the difference between the collage elements even more than orthodox collage pieces for the action of hiding them.
Fukuhara’s works to create art that is always challenging to our eyes albeit in a subtle way and the dynamic world hidden beneath its quiet presence never ceases to attract our attention.

hiroshige fukuhara’s black sculpture and drawing series
contemporary japanese artist hiroshige fukuhara‘s craftsmanship and cultural influence is evident in his series of sculptures and drawings. the hand-carved teakwood statues, coated in black gesso and resin, fuse classic japanese elements with a modern approach — in one, a horse becomes tangled in leaves, and in another a koi fish is camouflaged beneath an abundant array of flora. the glossy pieces contrast his drawings, which employ very simple media, pencil and canvas.
fukuhara draws directly on the material, covering it from end to end, without making any drafts or prior compositions. the result is intricately hand-rendered traditional japanese art motifs on black painted panels. the scattered and interwoven elements are typical to fukuhara’s creative approach. the low-contrast pieces reveal an image that is barely visible, rendering various perceptions. depending on the environment — such as distance to the canvas or lighting. the viewer is called on to change their position and angle, finding a space in which the drawings can best be seen.

JAPANESE ARTIST INTERVIEW PAINTING DRAWING EMERGING ARTISTS, Hiroshige FUKUHARA
Art Radar interview
Eight years ago, Japanese artist Hiroshige Fukuhara was building up a successful career as a promising contemporary artist. He showed work at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center in 2001 then disappeared from the contemporary art world. Then, in 2009, he reappeared at Tokyo’s ULTRA002 art fair, and in March this year exhibited work at NYC PULSE. Last month, Art Radar Asia spoke with Fukuhara in a special interview in which he talked about artwork from his recent solo exhibition “Binary” and explained what he has been doing in the eight years that he withdrew from the art world.
Fukuhara is represented by Ai Kowada Gallery in Ebisu, Japan, where he had a solo exhibition, “Binary”, earlier this year. His artwork from this exhibition features a series of drawings on which he sketches images of flora and fauna onto a black background with pencil, making the image difficult to see in certain lighting or at certain angles. We interviewed Fukuhara at this gallery, surrounded by his most recent work. Here he explained the reasons he chose this new medium and talked about his inspiration for the title of the exhibition. We discussed his background, what drives him and his art and the challenges that face young artists working today.

“Instantiation”
May. 18, 2013 (Sat.) - Jun. 15, 2013 (Sat.)
@ AI KOWADA GALLERY, Kiyosumi Art Complex
AI KOWADA GALLERY is going to present “Instantiation” Hiroshige Fukuhara’s solo exhibition. Fukuhara won the final selection at Philip Morris Art Award (Tokyo, 1997) and took part in a group exhibition at PS1 MoMA Contemporary Art Centre (NY, 2001) still being a student at Art School. Then he changed his career into graphic designer and has been succeeding with logotypes for hit products and established companies.
Restarting his creation in 2009, Fukuhara worked on paintings with a unique method, where all the motifs were consisted of solid lines in the same thickness. After years of absence, his new works were presented for the first time at PULSE art fair (NY & Miami, 2010) and all the pieces at his solo exhibition were sold out on the first day, so as at The Armory Show, the biggest art show in New York. He has received keen attention from collectors especially in U.S. and Europe.
Fukuhara drew images on black painted canvases with solid lines without drafts. Due to the character of the simplest media, pencil on the black canvas, images gave you different impressions depend on the environment, such as distances to the canvas or types of light. New works, both “black on black” and new series of silver started last year, will be released for the first time in Japan at this exhibition.
Fukuhara challenged the biggest size of work in his career. With this size, you’d find by far sharper a contrast between a canvas looked at from a distance and one closer, since it looked like just a black-painted canvas at the first glance. However, as you came close to it, you’d find endlessly scattered motifs such as leaves, flowers, waves and horses, which were typical to Fukuhara’s works.

“Recursion”
Sep. 01, 2012 (Sat.) - Oct. 06, 2012 (Sat.)
@ AI KOWADA GALLERY, Kiyosumi Art Complex
Fukuhara’s second solo exhibition is going to be presented from September 1, Saturday to October 6, Saturday. In addition to his black works, “drawing with black pencil on black bases”, he’d show works with new media including sculpture/carving.
One of the media he challenged for this exhibition was silkscreen print on a base made of stainless steel and ones with silver leaf mounted. At the first glance, it seemed just a silver-colored base. However, as you came close to it, you’d find endlessly scattered motifs such as leaves, flowers, waves and horses, which were typical of Fukuhara’s works.
Besides, he created completely new method of sculpture/carving. It started with a piece of drawing. He traced it upside down so that got the frond and the back, and then concluded both sides from them, which eventually turned out to be a sculpture. It rather “resulted in” a sculpture.
Although it seemed a completely new and different style in his career, it in fact deeply shared his philosophy, where he attempted to sublimate the dynamism at the moment of creation into a completed work of art, because he established this media in order to make himself free from an intention to make a work “well-balanced”.
Fukuhara said the concept of this exhibition was “fall down”, which means being away from logics and laws around us, especially ones we normally cannot recognize. For instance, plants come up, not down. Its roots go down into the ground, not up to the air.
How many works of art could be free from those rules? We’re making a piece of art, not a description in biological sense. Why should we follow a law of nature then? Questioning himself, he played with motifs so that presented an imaginative world, where the left could be the right, and the top could be the bottom.

Rising Stars: 5 Young Dealers to Watch at This Year’s Armory Show
Ai Kowanda Gallery (Tokyo)
Since its founding in 2010, Ai Kowada Gallery has developed a keen ability to identify promising talents in Japan, including 30-year-old performance artist Yoshinori Niwa and 36-year-old printmaker Nao Tsuda. For its sophomore outing at the Armory Show, the gallery will showcase the work of another young Japanese artist, Hiroshige Fukuhara. Not shown in New York since his debut at MoMA PS1’s 2001 exhibition “Buzz Club: News From Japan” — after which he stopped making fine art for nearly a decade — Fukuhara will present a series of intricate pencil drawings of fauna on black panels as well as his first foray into sculpture.

Hiroshige Fukuhara’s Breathtaking Monochromatic Artworks
by Nastia VoynovskayaPosted on October 2, 2013
Hiroshige Fukuhara‘s drawings invite a quiet stillness. One must pause to look at the work as the eyes adjust to distinguish the multitudinous shapes subtly rendered in pencil over black gesso on panel. Hiroshige hides baroque flourishes and epic narratives within the blackness; tigers, horses and other powerful creatures are petrified mid bolt or mighty roar. Floral arrangements wrap around the figures like the ornamental flora in Renaissance paintings. Hiroshige Fukuhara is currently based in Tokyo and is represented by Ai Kowada Gallery. Take a look at some of Hiroshige’s work below.
