This is the second solo exhibition of Haruna Sato, i.e. the first one in 2 years
at our Gallery.  Since then her activities have been outstanding through a
number of her participations in various art fairs both in Japan and overseas,
e.g. admitted to Tokyo Wonder Wall in 2009, her first solo exhibition in Seoul,
etc.  Through her intensive activities she has now established herself as a
popular artist, having ardent fans in 6 different countries.  She has already
committed herself to solo exhibitions next year in Tokyo and Shanghai as well
as to NYC Art Fair and is definitely expected to further her career.
Why can her works have a common sense of value regardless of nations,
religions and peoples?  I would say that it owes to her success of her series
“Baby Temperature” the motif of which is “babies” whose body temperature
is high, which is a straightforward concept, easiest to understand in the
current society.  She cleverly chose to express “temperature” of human
beings through her paintings.Sato does not, however, paint the skin of
“babies”.  She continues to grope for her theme “the inner temperature of
human beings” through her paintings.  She challenges again this very subject
at this upcoming solo exhibition.I look forward to her showing us another
possibility mostly through her installation works.
