| The exhibition of woodblock prints and etchings, originally started at the Ikeda Bijutsu Gallery, and has just finished its second stage at Art Zone.
The venue, Art Zone Kaguraoka, while principally showing prints also exhibits other contemporary art work.
The exhibition opened with a talk show presentation with Aoki and the independent curator from the Kansai area, Yoshio Kato. Talking about Aoki's sculpture, as well as prints and other works, Kato, while responding seriously to Aoki's approach brought out her thoughts in a relaxed manner.
Aoki's new prints will move to Mizuho Oshiro Gallery (1 July-31 August / Kagoshima).
The new prints are an Edition Works publication. However, each gallery has its own individual show, which include Aoki's new sculptures, drawings, as well as some of her previous prints.
The new prints are also introduced in the 124th issue of 'Hanga Geijutsu' magazine (published by Abe publishing Ltd) in the 'New Edition' section on pages 122-123. The article features an interview with Aoki as well as photographs of her prints. Please take a look!

The gallery's press release states, "As one looks up at the tree branches in Rieko Hidaka's new work, rather than only fixing one's eyes on the branches, one feels the sensation of the space. With these three paintings combined one feels a different sense of space and the beginnings of an experiment with distance". We hope you will enjoy these new works.
