Yoshimi Arts is pleased to present the exhibition, “IDA SHOICHI PAPER WORKS 1980s”.
We first met Mr. Ida more than ten years ago through our reelationship with his then assistant, and we drank together or a short time during th Gion Festival in Kyoto. Like ships in the night, we never saw each other after that. We later heard that he had passed away but that his works were still in his studio and there would be a memorial exhibition. When we had a meal with his former assistant, we talked about Mr. Ida's exhibition and were motivated to hold this exhibition, as we felt a special connection.
Preparation began two years ago, and after scrutinzing the wroks at his studio and the uantity of documents provided, we decided his "PAPER WORKS" from the 1980s would be the best choice for the exhibition.
As his mediums and techiniues vary and the artist worked on various pieces, it is difficult to grasp his vision as whole. Nevertheless, we hope that the introduction of Ida's works at our gallery will provide an opportunity for visiotrs to review his artworks. The exhibition will feature about 15 works, mainly "PAPER WORKS", as well as works from the 1970s that foreshadow the development of "PAPER WORKS", and three-dimensional works.
