The color white is a symbol of purity, cleanliness, and victory, and will evoke various meanings in contrast to black.
And it is not only such meanings that contemporary artists assign to the color white. Each artist may have his or her own variation in terms of the range of hue, saturation, and lightness that he or she considers "white" within the infinite gradation of colors.
The works presented in this exhibition are all based on white or light gray, but all of them have reached a level of expression unique to a particular medium, such as oil, acrylic, or photography. When hung on a wall, these works will be more in harmony with the color of the wall in your room. An oil painting in subtle grays will instantly transform a room into a light-filled cathedral. Or place a black-and-white photograph of a winter scene in Central Park beside it, and the rich tones hidden in the shabbiness will soothe your soul.
The works achieve their appealing effects by focusing on a few elements, and are sure to further strengthen your aesthetic senses.
