2024年8月31日から10月12日まで、香港のWKMギャラリーにて篠崎恵美の香港初個展「Meridiem」を開催いたします。

今回の個展「Meridiem」は、篠崎の活動の芸術的な延長線上にあるもので、約200点の新作の紙の花アート作品シリーズと、地元の植物で構成された生花のインスタレーションを発表します。

紙を使って永遠の花を咲かせるアプローチと、自然のサイクルの儚さへのオマージュという対照的な2つのアプローチは、篠崎の活動の中心的なテーマであり、花の生と死、刹那的なものと永遠なものの間の深遠な領域を探求する象徴的な表現方法です。

MEGUMI SHINOZAKI
「Meridiem」
日程：2024年8月31日～10月12日
場所：WKM Gallery @wkmgallery
20/F, Coda Designer Centre, 62 Wong Chuk Hang Road, Hong Kong
Tuesday–Saturday, 11am–7pm

From 31 August to 12 October, 2024, WKM Gallery is pleased to present “Meridiem”, Japanese artist Megumi Shinozaki’s first solo exhibition in Hong Kong. Shinozaki has attained recognition as the founder and creative director of edenworks, a creative studio that specializes in utilizing flowers and plants to create artworks, installations, and experiences that function as catalysts for meaningful connection to people and nature.

“Meridiem” is an artistic extension of her work with the studio, and will present a series of around 200 brand new paper flower works all handmade by the artist, as well as a fresh flower installation composed of local flora. These two contrasting approaches– one that makes use of paper to create eternal blossoms, the other a tribute to the ephemerality of the natural cycle of life– together represent the central theme of Shinozaki’s practice, in which the flower becomes a symbolic way to explore the profound area between alive and not, temporary and eternal.
