Hello friends.Today in this post I want to dedicate the works of a Japanese artist that we saw at the Museum of Art in Espoo, Finland.There were many sections and works of art in this museum, which was very attractive and at the same time, thought-provoking.
In one part of the museum, a large space was filled with intertwined thread/yarn. These threads were large in size and red in color.In part of this red space, there was a wooden door and a corridor.We could take a path and enter the red room.This work of art belonged to a Japanese artist .
The name of this artist is Chiharo Shyota. she is known for the arrangement of black, red and white threads that surround the entire gallery space.
In his works, this artist confronts the viewer with basic human concerns such as life, death and relationships.
In his collections, Chiharo examines the various dimensions of human existence and uses a variety of objects, paintings, etc. in his arrangements.
In addition to numerous solo exhibitions around the world, she has participated in numerous international exhibitions.
Chiharo's arrangements turn the space into a labyrinth that houses the artist's personal belongings.In his arrangements, Chiharo explores the various dimensions of human existence and seeks man's relation to himself and to human relations;
It is written that spectators are invited to enter the maze of thread/yarn, which contains a set of old doors that open up alternative paths through work.
While thread is the main material and line is the main element of her work, color plays a vital role.The use of red means travel, the movement of blood through our veins, or the red string of the "fateful path" of life;
Something in Japanese, Chinese, and Korean cultures that symbolizes suffering love and the red thread that binds us humans together.
Chiharo uses thread/yarn as a mirror of her emotions.For Chiharo, thread is like a human relationship and, like life, has many complexities.Thus, by expanding specific spaces and considering a physical and emotional transition, Chiharo confronts us with his lived experiences.
The spaces and paths created in the exhibition are reminiscent of the corridors of life
The presence of corridors, doors and colors invites the audience to walk in space, to the feeling and meaning of life.
