12 NYC artists VS Genichi Watanabe
December 1st, 2015 – December 26th, 2015
A collaborative exhibit between the Japanese artist, Genichi WATANABE and twelve select NYC artists, curated by Reno Oka of ISSO Art Gallery in Tokyo. Considering that one can find similarity in aspects of every work of art, Reno juxtaposes the overlapping themes between the art of Genichi Watanabe and twelve NYC artists.
Art by different artists may look completely different at glance; however, once you focus on specific points, there is connection and agreement. Regardless of the artists nationalities, there is a shared experience.
This is the reason the show is titled “Boundary-less”; the artists’ works are not divided into separate categories, rather they are exhibited in the same atmosphere harmoniously, despite their diversity.
