wamono art presents a solo exhibition of Wataru Yamakami in Hong Kong for the first time. Yamakami’s themes are “proliferation and transformation”, “connection of boundaries” and “exploration of connection points”. Since childhood, Yamakami has had doubts and fears that everything that happens in the world is fake or fiction, and creating artwork is a way for him to connect himself with this invisible realm. Through motifs such as slime, minerals, drifting objects, natural phenomena, festivals and rituals, he tries to create his “truth“ with a “seamless and elusive connection” that everything existing in this world is in flux and changes in both form and essence. His solo exhibition will feature oil paintings, with a focus on his signature “World of the world” series, which he began in 2010.

We are inviting viewers to immerse themselves in Yamakami’s unique world.

Exhibition | 12-6pm

Gallery address: Unit A, 10/F, Derrick Industrial Building, 49 Wong Chuk Hang Road
