Following its great success, the Andrea Ingenito Contemporary Art Gallery is pleased to announce the extension of Kazumi Yoshida’s exhibition “Praise of colour” until 7 January 2023, enriched by further new additions.

Moreover, an entire section by the same artist will be on our stand at the next Arte in Nuvola fair in Rome ( stand H14-16 from 17th to 20th November 2022).

Abstract drawings of geometric shapes, animals and colorful faces with blue, white and red backgrounds are for the first time inside an Italian art gallery, creating an anthological account of the art of the award-winning Japanese artist and designer, director of the renowned Clarence House design in New York

Kazumi Yoshida has the ability to create a perfect synergy between painting, sculpture and textile design forming laborious designs and embroideries in the most varied colors. A true “praise of color” and of art that touches every form of it, but without neglecting the great sensitivity to the society perceptible in his works. And it is following this perspective of “praise of color” that more than forty of Yoshida’s most important works have been chosen for the exhibition at Andrea Ingenito Gallery: from the colorful tapestries “African Mask” and “Jemballa,” which take up the tradition of textile art with portrayal of tribal masks and exotic settings (also taken up in the beautiful “Utopia” series), to the explosion of colors of the “Blooming Jungle” series to the beautiful series dedicated to zodiac signs and the abstract portraits of the “3D Muses” series.

Bidimensional and tridimensional figures make Yoshida’s art a journey into an almost surreal and fairy-tale world of chromatic harmony.

Biography.

Kazumi Yoshida is a multifaceted artist who even approaches the world of art since his young age. He was born in Japan, but much of his artistic activity took place in the United States starting in 1982, when he created his first project “Papiers Japonais” for the well-known New York design house “Clarence House” of which he is nowdays the artistic director. An award-winning artist, Kazumi Yoshida gained international fame as early as the 1990s and sealed in the early 2000s when he began his collaboration with the fashion house Hermès. For his art he prefers, in addition to traditional painting techniques (acrylics, mixed media, mosaics on wood), textiles such as fabrics, tapestries, cashmere shawls and wallpapers.
