-Harmony of Painting and Sculpture I-
DOKA Contemporary Arts is handling the collaboration of artists.
Two artists of this exhibition, Noriko Ueda and Hidetoshi Takahama, have always created a high-quality, Japanese abstraction work one after another.
The wind (Ueda) or the water (Takahama) is their own theme for a long time.
They are known as the artist who creates the delicate and high quality works. Therefore, they have been supported deep-rooted by some overseas art fans and collectors.
But also it is true that there is few chances to touch personally with their works except a part of art fans and collectors. It is different from other artists who catch the wave of the boom.

This time, DOKA Contemporary Arts planned the collaborating of these two artists who can express the Japanese sense of beauty refined extremely delicate and highly.
Their delicate and quiet works which a foreign artist does not have, are international because they are very Japanese.
Therefore, we collaborated these two artists, who can direct the calm and delicate place.
Please have their works closely and enjoy yourself as an opportunity to have the personal communication with artists.
