IKEDA Manabu: The Pen ; Condensed Universe, at 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, Ishikawa
8th April - 9th July, 2017 | 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, Ishikawa
Artist IKEDA Manabu (1973–) depicts a monumental world using a super-fine pen point. Working slowly—he can complete only a fist-sized area in a single day— Ikeda manifests a surreal alien world, employing minute delineation and a flair for grand composition. His massive pictures have won him acclaim around the globe. This will be the first large-scale exhibition presenting the entire scope of Ikeda’s production. His Rebirth, a new work he spent three years creating during an artist residency at Chazen Museum of Art in Wisconsin USA, is a must see.
