このたびHENKYOでは2/1(土)より、写真家の川内倫子、 濱田祐史、日本で初展示となるペインターのChristian Franzen, Liane Chuの4名による グループ展「Each View」を開催いたします。

それぞれの作品は、見る人の視点によって異なる解釈を引き出し、具象と抽象の間に広がる曖昧な領域を探求します。写真が描き出すリアリティ や絵画が生み出す想像力、それらが交錯することで、「見る」という行為そのものに問いを投げかけます。

風景や光、そして色彩 ____

形状の断片が織り成す視覚的体験は、固定された意味を超え、鑑賞者の感性によって新たな物語を生み出します。作品が導くのは、ひとつの答えではなく無数の可能性。それぞれの目に映る風景は、どのような「景色」として心に残るのか。 是非ご高覧下さい。

HENKYO is pleased to present “Each View”, a group exhibition by photographers Rinko Kawauchi and Yuji Hamada, along with painters Christian Franzen and Liane Chu marking their first exhibition in Japan, starting Saturday, February 1st. Each work draws out different interpretations depending on the viewer’s point of view, and explores the ambiguous space that exists between the figurative and the abstract. The intersection between the reality depicted in the photographs and the imagination generated by the paintings prompts question about the act of “seeing” itself. Landscape, light, and color ____ The visual experience woven from fragments of shapes transcends fixed meanings and creates new narratives shaped according to the viewer’s sensibilities. The work leads us to a myriad of possibilities rather than a single answer. What kind of ‘scenery’ will the landscape reflected in each viewers eye leave in the mind?

Liane Chu



Liane Chu(b.1997) is currently studying at the Central Academy of Fine Art master in Experimental Art and Technology. Chu’s Normal and Abnormal series offers an evocative space for discourse and rumination. Her virtuosity is epitomised by her meticulous use of colours and textures as she enlivens the silent giants in her multidimensional compositions.
Chu calls our attention to the omnipresence of media in the twenty-first century- the technicoloured pixels flooded into our lives when the world became accessible from a rectangle piece of liquid-crystal display. Through hurried taps, swipes and scrolls, we feed on the amalgamation of hues, letters and vibrations that inadvertently alter our chemistry.
When we indulge in the mass media, we believe we are autonomous agents. To Chu, humans are akin to trees. We become what we consume – with nutrients, we flourish and blossom; With poison, we wilt and rot. In this series, the soil in which the perennial subjects feed on entwines them with tints of obscure colours. Chu paints eccentric portraits for our metaphorical counterparts in ethereal backdrops for the audience to embrace a moment of stillness amidst the dynamic modern society (metropolis). We are reminded that we are a vibrant palimpsest of our empirical contiguity, in which individuality is manifested and celebrated.
The surrealist landscapes created by Chu doubled as her biopic of her personal experience with Tourette’s syndrome. Her artworks are a means of cathartic release as each twitching stroke confronts the societal demarcation between ‘normal’ and ‘abnormal’. By letting her body perceives the world freely, she embodies her belief of simultaneous self-healing and self-release. With each roaring slash lacerating the comforting gradients, Chu depicts her struggles and desire to navigate the ‘normal’ world whilst she cultivates a sense of hope and tranquillity in the chaos that is life.

Christian Franzen

ロサンゼルスを拠点に活動するアーティスト、クリスチャン・フランゼン（1994年生まれ）は、個人的な物語や南カリフォルニア沿岸部の視覚的風土からインスピレーションを得たペインティングを制作している。風景の描写は、引っかき傷やベールに包まれた重要なオブジェによって乱されている。彼の作品は、記憶、内省、対人関係、地域の神話をテーマにしている。
2018年にカリフォルニア州立大学ロングビーチ校でBFAを取得。In Lieu（ロサンゼルス）とGlasshouse（ロンドン）で個展を開催し、James Cohan（ニューヨーク）、In Lieu（ロサンゼルス）、Nathalie Karg（ニューヨーク）、Sow & Tailor（香港）などでグループ展にも参加。

Los Angeles-based artist Christian Franzen (b.1994) creates paintings that draw inspiration through personal narrative and the visual vernacular of coastal Southern California. In his paintings, depictions of landscapes are disrupted by flittering scratches and veiled objects of significance. His work deals with themes of memory, introspection, interpersonal relationships, and local mythologies.
He received his BFA from California State University Long Beach in 2018. He has held solo exhibitions at In Lieu (Los Angeles) and Glasshouse (London). He has participated in group exhibitions at James Cohan (New York), In Lieu (Los Angeles), Nathalie Karg (New York), and Sow & Tailor (Hong Kong), among others.
