From 22 March to 3 May 2025, WKM Gallery is delighted to present Embodied Perspectives, a group exhibition featuring six contemporary Japanese painters: Soh Souen, Iori Nagashima, Koji Yamaguchi, Jun Tsunoda, Kohei Yamada, and Momo Yoshino. Though diverse in context and style, ranging from minimal abstraction to detailed figuration, each of these artists share a similar goal: the desire to connect with the physical world around them through the act of painting.
Embodied Perspectives showcases paintings that highlight the body's visceral experience of the world; both the artist's, as well as the viewer's. The distinct styles of each artist, when put together, spotlight the uniqueness of their approaches even as they share similar aims. These six artists not only showcase the rich diversity of contemporary Japanese painting, but also illuminate its promising future.
