We are pleased to announce that painter Masumi Iwakawa has changed his artist name to "FRAGIO" as of August 2024.
The flageolet is a technique for playing the saxophone.
It refers to the range of notes that can be produced by using special playing techniques to produce infinitely high overtones.
For FRAGIO, who is based around music, the artist name is a perfect fit as the world of endless overtones is expressed through painting.
Also, the correct spelling of flageolet is "flageolet" with an "L", but the reason for changing it to "R" is because it is a word that means "pray ( The meaning behind this name is "with prayers in mind."
I would like to pray for a world of love and return to the cycle of gratitude.
We appreciate your continued patronage of FRAGIO and its products.
