About the Exhibition

Whitestone Gallery Karuizawa is delighted to announce the solo exhibition of Yuco Maruo “Slightly But Far Beyond”; this is her fifth solo presentation in Karuizawa. Yuco Maruo is an artist who creates fine textured, translucent white sculptures from plasticines. Taking advantage of her experiences in designing characters for clay animation, this time, Maruo further develops her visualization on something abstract and invisible in the spaces of Karuizawa New Art Museum. Exquisite forms, elaborated only by manual procedures according to her own tactile sensation, focus on representing ‘something arises from unexpected moments in everyday life; these forms are brimmed with feminine softness and elegance, and stimulates the viewers’ imagination by their incomprehensible uniqueness. Although the presented works are born ‘slightly but far beyond’ from intention of the artist, the exhibition space in which all those are brought together will also create another form as if it were an assembly in itself and introduce the visitor to a different special dimension. We cordially invite you to experience this precious opportunity.
