Special Exhibition: Local Painters Series 2 "Solitary Painter Unrei Umezaki ～ Brush and Soul Polished by Poverty ～"

Umezaki Unrei, whose work is featured in this exhibition, was born in Omuta City, Fukuoka Prefecture in 1881 and remained distinct from the central art world throughout his life until his death in 1962 at the age of 81. He was a solitary literati painter who deeply pursued Nanga in a state of poverty and purity. At the end of the Meiji period, he traveled to the Korean peninsula and mainland China to pursue his studies on his own, and established a refreshing style of painting rich in deep spirituality.

This exhibition features 30 works of nanga, ranging from the powerful Tomioka Tessai-style paintings of his early years, including works from his 1991 retrospective exhibition in England, to ink and landscape paintings that create a unique and fantastic atmosphere, to the extremely colorful paintings of his later years, allowing visitors to fully appreciate the art of contemplation in the works of Unrei. We hope you will enjoy the fantastic view of the world backed by Umezaki's deep spirituality.
