Yuko Nasaka Rotation

Nasaka Yuko's (1938-) motif is rotation. Her works bring rotation into the motionless world of painting, which in a sense is a complete movement (action), and its trajectory leaves beautiful traces of time on the canvas. When we think of action paintings, we imagine something physical and rough like Pollock, but her actions are more automatic and refined. Why did she become interested in rotation? It comes from her memories of growing up as a child, when Nasaka's family owned a factory that made rotating gas appliance meters.

Nasaka seems to be interested in anything that rotates, and when he visited our museum,
He was also very interested in the video work "Anemic Cinema" by French artist Marcel Duchamp, which was also on display. This time, this work will be exhibited together with Nasaka's work.
The visual effect of rotation is an important element of this work as well, and we hope you will experience the chemical reaction that occurs when it is exhibited alongside Nasaka's work.
