PORTFOLIO OF HIROAKI FURUKAWA

EXHIBITION

Solo exhibition
Hiroaki Furukawa exhibition
" Another Local "

This time's solo exhibit's theme is " Another Local ".

Basically, the world you can touch is only which you are surrounded where you stand. Although, imaging one step outside, you can feel close to all the "Another local" places connected under your feet. From drawings according to those images, layering multiple materials as mixed media, I completed the paintings by colored pencil. I will exhibit about 20 colored pencil・ mixed media art works, as well as few acrylic mini sized canvas paintings.

" LAYERS OF SENSE "

My art piece is made by layering 6 materials, each according to the sense felt from the motif.

At this solo exhibition, I'll display the completed work, as well as the NFT works at the OpenSea, which are the step works of each sense and materials.

The meaning to do this is to add human temperatures to digital, as well as to give shape to the step of works, which usually are painted over and won't exist after the artwork is finished.

At OpenSea, my page name is "Atelier Tsukue". I will add more works when the exhibition gets closer.

At Art Mall I will exhibit about 20 completed works, as well as displays of the steps.

Please come by if you have time.
