Discover the Beauty of the Present Moment

Yuri Minagawa, an innovative dyeing artist, is set to showcase her remarkable work in an art exhibition titled 'Ututu ha Gokuraku' at STAYFLOWER NAKAMEGURO from April 26 to April 30, 2025. This art event is not just an exhibit; it's an invitation to experience beauty in every moment of our lives.

This exhibition will run for five days, from Saturday, April 26, to Wednesday, April 30. The venue, STAYFLOWER NAKAMEGURO, is a unique floral shop located in Nakameguro, Tokyo. Visitors can enjoy free entry without reservations during exhibition hours from 12:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

On the opening day, April 26, there will be a special reception starting at 5:00 PM, where the artist herself will be present to engage with guests. This is a wonderful opportunity for attendees to immerse themselves in an art experience that tantalizes all five senses.

The Exhibition Theme

Yuri Minagawa's work is rooted in the concept of 'Dyeing Decoration,' which emphasizes the beauty of the ordinary and the transient nature of time. Through her art, she seeks to illuminate the hidden splendor around us, highlighting the fleeting beauty that we often overlook in our daily lives.

The showcased pieces draw inspiration from daily life and are meant to represent the 'impermanence' of reality by capturing the joy of living in the moment. The flowing visual aesthetics of dyeing evoke the gradual blooming and wilting of flowers, symbolizing the perpetual passage of time.

Minagawa's artistic philosophy is influenced by Zen Buddhism, where she explores the notion that colors are not just visual phenomena but also evoke emotions and memories. This view reflects her understanding of the interplay between the physical and metaphysical—a duality that she embodies in her work. Her unique technique combines natural dye patterns with decor elements to create artworks that are singular and evocative.

Within the enchanting setting of a flower shop, her art interacts harmoniously with the surrounding florals, creating an atmosphere that connects with the essence of life itself. Visitors are encouraged to take a moment to discover their own 'Gokuraku'—a paradise that lies just next to the everyday reality, highlighting that true beauty is often found in the most unexpected places.
