KOHEI NAWA

We are pleased to announce Flare, a group exhibition by Kengo Kito, Daisuke Ohba, and Kohei Nawa at Tiger Gallery™, an art gallery project of Onitsuka Tiger in London, UK.

Intertwining multifarious materials, approaches, and concepts, Flare presents works of a cohesive vision that explore the contingencies of contemporary existence as well as grand narratives that harken back to the universe’s origins. The paintings, sculptures, and installations reflect dynamic interplays of space, time, and light, catapulting viewers into a new dimension charged with both paradox and possibility.

In May 2024, while the artists were conceptualizing the current exhibition, a historical solar flare
occurred, attracting great attention as auroras were observed around the world. Serendipitously, a few years prior, they had jointly presented an exhibition titled Taiyo (“Sun”). In contemplating these connections, Nawa proposed the title Flare for the current exhibition as an homage to the celestial spectacle as well as the artists’ interconnected creative journeys. Much like the sun, which channels ancient energies to illuminate the future, Flare addresses the essence and potential of our era, both present and future.

Exhibition Period: 10 Oct (Thu) - 8. November (Fri), 2024
Opening Hours: [Mon - Sat] 11:30 - 18:00 / [Sun] 12:00 - 18:00
