Chie Aoki

SOKYO ATSUMI (Tokyo) is pleased to present “Tranquil Bodies,” an exhibition by Chie Aoki. This will be Aoki's first solo exhibition at SOKYO ATSUMI.
Four Aoki sculptures, including one particularly large piece, are concurrently exhibited in the group show, “Roppongi Crossing 2022: Come and Go Alone!” (Closes March 26), held at the Mori Art Museum. Aoki uses Japanese lacquer (urushi), which she first experienced as an art student in Kanazawa, to create works that combine figurative representations of the human body with abstracted shapes. Sokyo Gallery (Kyoto) has held solo exhibitions of Aoki's work in 2018 and 2021. In this Tokyo show, we present latest works from her signature series, “BODY,” as well as charcoal drawings on paper, “From Drawing.”
