June 23 to July 30, 2016
Ronin Gallery
425 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10017
This summer, Ronin Gallery is pleased to present some Japan’s brightest talents in The Great Wave: Contemporary Talents of Japan, uniting emerging and established artists working and reacting to the realities of our time. Featuring Keisuke Yamaguchi (Oz), the winner of the 2016 Ronin | Globus Artist-in-Residence Program, this exhibition presents diverse reactions to Japan’s recent earthquakes and the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami across a wide range of media. We are excited to include works by familiar Ronin Contemporary artists, as well as welcome some new members to the family. Finally, we are pleased to present work from the finalists of the Ronin | Globus Artist-in-Residence Program— Tomomi Kamoshita, Nao Morigo, and Yuki Nishimoto. Together, these visionary artists challenge the distinction between tradition and innovation, from new-age nihonga and kintsugi, to ultra-modern, site-specific painting and prints that resound with popular manga. Ronin Gallery is excited to present this exhibition in conjunction with the Ronin | Globus Artist-in-Residence Program. For the past 40 years, we have focused on bringing the best of Japanese art to the United States. In keeping with this tradition, we seek to nurture and promote the most exciting talents in contemporary Japanese art today.
