If you found yourself enthralled by the whimsical paintings of the Twinkle Day exhibition at ARTTRIO gallery, you’re sure to love their next showcase, titled ‘From Beyond The Sea’. Helmed by rising millennial Japanese artist, Ryoko Kaneta, this maiden solo exhibition of hers in Singapore features paintings in her signature imaginative manga-like style – all with an additional sea-themed element.
Inspired by Japan’s magical sea legends and beautiful water bodies, the works in the exhibition bring a sense of dreaminess, mysteriousness, and tranquillity all at once. With flowing long tresses that blend into rolling waves and mountains, Ryoko’s wide-eyed, doll-like characters take centre stage while seamlessly being part of the colourful landscapes portrayed. Look closer and you’ll notice iconic Japanese motifs like the traditional kimono, shrines, and seifuku (school uniform) weaved in too.
‘From Beyond The Sea’ by Ryoko Kaneta will be running in Singapore from October 21 to November 30 2023 with free entry. Find out more here.
