Flowers on roadsides and town in the night…scenery in daily life is the motif that Syoh Yoshida (b.1984, Nagoya) has continuously expressed in his paintings. At first, his works seem like contrasty black-and-white photo…and then, in closeup, we find that they are really the paintings drawn by sumi and gofun: black ink and white shell powder, the materials of Japanese style painting. His works are full of simplicity, retenue and elegance. They seem to discreetly breathe in the exhibition space."The painting should be not assertive, stand still in space. The painting should be as a part of space." That is what Yoshida expects on his works. This is the second solo show for him in our gallery. There will be about 15 works included new works. Its theme is "Light and shadow / white and black". Yoshida has exhibited in solo and group shows domestic and abroad (Seoul, Hong Kong). He was selected in well-known awards: Kyoto 2007 New Wave and the 11th Taro Okamoto Award for Contemporary Art, 2008. In 2008, his solo show in Tokyo attracted one coordinator from Hong Kong and it led to a realizing his solo show, "Distant Promise", Harbour City. Completed at the postgraduate course in Japanese Painting department, Osaka Seikei University Faculty of Art & Design, Osaka, Japan in 2008. Currently, Part-time instructor in the art department of Osaka Seikei University, faculty of Art & Design. Syoh YOSHIDA
