Art Informel: Hisao Domoto and Toshimitsu Imai

Synopsis:

This New Art Museum exhibition will focus on the raw, tactile intensity of the main masters of Art Informel, Hisao Domoto and Toshimitsu Imai. The exhibition explores how this European-originated abstract movement "Art Informel" became important in Japan through a historical lens. By incorporating Eastern philosophies and Japanese aesthetics into dialogue with European Art Informel, they forged a powerful cross-cultural artistic exchange.
Art Informel becomes a universal language of suffering, resilience, and rebirth.
The paintings bear witness to confront the profound human cost of war while reminding us of the enduring values of empathy, peace, and our shared humanity.
