Gallery Terra Tokyo is pleased to announce to have a group exhibition that focuses on drawing. Regarded as "DRAWING = NOUN", we will present the drawing that is created as one work, rather than as idea sketches or study. These works are maintaining the liquidity of a fundamental meaning of drawings and also expressing vividly the transition process of thoughts and feelings. The impression for each works is various because of colorful or monochrome, bold brushwork or precise brushwork, but the common points are that these drawing are the medium for outputting the moment of “now” in the foreground and also that these are existing as one completed figure of trajectory of that outputting.
