Maiko KITAGAWA

CHEN Jiang-Hong

Galerie Taménaga is delighted to present the enchanting dialogue between two exceptional artists immersed in a world exclusively in black and white: Japanese artist Maiko KITAGAWA (born in 1983) and Chinese artist CHEN Jiang-Hong (born in 1963). In this fascinating artistic realm, black and white reveal the profound essence of their works. Maiko KITAGAWA, renowned for her meticulousness and precision, skillfully manipulates the nuances of black and white through her preferred medium, the dermatograph. Her figurative compositions, imbued with fantasy and directly inspired by tales and legends, come to life in a delicate play of light and shadow. Each stroke reveals depth, every detail invites meticulous exploration. On the other hand, CHEN Jiang-Hong explores black and white with raw energy and captivating expressiveness. Each brushstroke, laden with emotion, breathes life into powerful compositions. His intensely contrasting works carry spectators into a whirlwind of emotions, inviting them to feel every movement, every shade, in a captivating visual ballet.
