Introduction:
Gallery incurve kyoto, which features about twenty artists who belong to“Social Welfare Foundation SOOHKAI atelier incurve,” is a commercial gallery that plans exhibition and sales. The very first exhibition Draws and Flows is curated by Takahiro Okazawa, the designer of his own apparel brands “Cycle” and “CLS.” Shinki Tomoyuki is keen on martial arts and draws fighters using color pencils or computer graphics. Okazawa says that he feels some flow in the bold lines and colors in Shinki's creations. Their heaving form and trace of time were what Okazawa sensed while selecting and displaying the artworks. You may see different scenery and hear some resonance in this space composed by Okazawa, who is also a fan of martial arts.

In 2012, his works will also be shown in “Atelier Incurve Exhibition (tentative title)” at Japan Society, New York.
