"Cicada’s eclosion and I" (2008) copy right(c) 2008 Nobuaki Takekawa and Ota Fine Arts

Takekawa has studied in Tokyo National University of arts and music and completed BA in oil painting course in 2002. Up to the present date, the artist had several solo exhibitions at Ota Fine Arts, also AKIMAHEN! in Lille, France in 2004, selected group exhibition of Portrait Session at Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art in 2007. This exhibition will show the combination of his latest paintings from the series of Cicada’s eclosion and I, a new painting and a installation work. In Cicada’s eclosion and I, he combined the portrait of his family or himself and the repeating timelines of 7 years that Cicadas spend in the ground by the day of their eclosion. The other painting and installation work were inspired by Manila clam. He used the pattern of its shell, called Zonate Spot as the motif of these two works. What make him interested are decorative quality and the scenery made by accumulation of time. That is to say, it seems to suggest viewers that human’s original scenery has come from nature. The yacht, installed on the floor which shows the annual ring by the pattern of Manila clam’s Zonate Spot, is the metaphor for time travelling. The exhibition will let viewers trip down their memory lanes. * The text above provided by Ota Fine Arts
