Izumi Kato. Untitled
Exhibition June 5 − August 27, 2019
The Perrotin Gallery in Shanghai presents Izumi Kato's solo exhibition.Untitled". The exhibition includes new works of the master. Works lead away from preconceived ideas about modern sculpture and painting, returning to faith in art as a ritual associated with the power of primitive images. The artist’s visual language is replete with references to myths and folklore that are common in his native Shimane prefecture. Kato’s practice is based on the Shinto belief that everyone, even objects such as stone and wood, contain spirit.
