Phalaenopsis

This is an exhibition of works from "Creatures," a group show featuring five artists who express animals, plants, fungi, and mythical beings using their own materials and methods. This exhibition explores the unseen presence and energy of life, and the relationship between nature and humans, through the forms of diverse "creatures."
Yukiko Kurano depicts the movement of plant life, which, while appearing still, constantly puts down roots and extends branches and leaves. In the works exhibited here, she treats oil paints like watercolors, capturing the dynamism of growing plants with fluid brushstrokes.
