12:00–18:00 (Closed on Mondays, Tuesdays and on national holidays)・Jan 14, 2022–Feb 13, 2022・Loko Gallery

Fumiaki Aono, a globally active artist based in Sendai, Japan, will have a solo exhibition in Loko Gallery in Tokyo named Growing from the Valley: The Remnant of a Tate-mono.

In this exhibition, Aono will present his latest works inspired by the bowl-shaped terrain around Shibuya Station which is near the gallery, and the high-rise buildings constructed for the area’s redevelopment. From the act of “repairing” objects, Aono draws a narrative that leads the object’s primary reason of being to another dimension which arouses something profound to the audience’s sense and intention.
