Work Details

Concept and production intention of the work

PRĀNA means "breath of life" in Sanskrit. In Indian philosophy, it also means the element of wind. It is an attempt to embody the fundamental form of the life force of living (breathing) things.

It is characterized by the fact that facial expressions change drastically depending on the angle.

Tomo Sakurai

contemporary artist

My practice explores dynamic equilibrium by viewing all phenomena as a continuum rather than fixed opposites. At its core is the Three Visual Principles: Black & White, Color, and Ma, representing opposition, transition, and the space where differences coexist. Using paint, ink, resin, metal, earth, wax, glass, and mineral pigments, I work with melting, oxidation, heat, and deposition. I observe how materials transform and interact over time, allowing their behavior to shape the work. These processes give rise to Awai, a space where differences remain distinct while existing together. Within Awai, equilibrium appears as a temporary state in which no element fully dominates another. It is not static balance, but a dynamic condition sustained through change, tension, and fluctuation. My works preserve these transient relationships as material fragments of Awai and dynamic equilibrium. Born in Nagano, graduated from Yokohama University of Art and Design. Currently, she is a contemporary artist based in Tokyo. A work that incorporates contrasts and multilayers through observation of materials and physical phenomena, starting from conceptual/minimal art techniques Expand products. While reinterpreting traditional materials and techniques, they are exploring fusion with contemporary thought. Major solo exhibitions include “Schrödinger's Curtain” (2024, Tokyo International Gallery) and “Y = (0.298912R+ There are “0.586611G+ 0.114478*B)” (2022, Amalgam Art Gallery), etc. Also, “FOCUS Art Fair 2022 in “Paris” (Carrousel du Louvre, France), “Art Fair Tokyo 2021” (Tokyo International Forum), Domestic and international exhibitions such as “PANORAMA” (2024, Gallery Assistant at Atelier Natália Gromicho) Participate in Tofea. In addition to exhibitions at the Aida Mitsuo Museum (Tokyo), the Korean Art Museum (Seoul), and the CICA Museum (Korea), shrines and temples, domestic and international Works are stored in companies and public facilities. In recent years, through self-made pigments and material research, there have been antagonistic relationships between matter and spirit, tradition and innovation Production on the theme of the equilibrium that occurs within is being deepened.
