Goshou's Exhibition: An Exploration of the Unseen
The world of contemporary art continually evolves, and rising artist Goshou is diving deeper into this realm with his upcoming solo exhibition titled "Invisible Forms," scheduled from January 14 to January 19, 2026, at the 7th floor art gallery of Ginza Mitsukoshi. Goshou, a distinguished calligrapher, blends tradition with modernity, and this exhibition promises to be a captivating journey into themes like the voice of the island and the outline of the self, visualized through an artistic lens.
A Calligrapher's Artistic Journey
Goshou, starting from his childhood in calligraphy, perceives it not merely as a cultural practice requiring preservation but as an art form that can actively protect Japanese creativity. His approach seeks to break boundaries, employing unique styles that express a new potential for calligraphy. In "Invisible Forms," he aims to reveal the presence of the invisible, highlighting the undercurrents of existence through his artwork.
Goshou has demonstrated an exquisite ability to meld traditional practices with modern aesthetics. His work reflects a philosophy of duality, embodying concepts such as "wabi-sabi" that resonate deeply within the Japanese spirit. The dualities of black and white, natural beauty against artificiality, and the coexistence of analog and digital are intricately woven into his creations.
