Karen Shiozawa « 千の夜 – Thousand Nights »

« 千の夜 – Thousand Nights », is the first solo exhibition of young Japanese artist Karen Shiozawa in

Whitestone Gallery Singapore, from 16th November to 29th December 2024. The exhibition featuring her new works seeks to explore the deep relationship between humans and the universe, beyond the past and future.

Shiozawa’s works intertwine memories of the past with current realities and unknown memories. Today, it merges her childhood in the Netherlands together with her experience as an artist.
Through the exhibition, viewers will have the opportunity to evoke their own childhood senses and scenery. With hands that fill the surface of a wooden panel with bright colors, then covered with darker shades, the artist portrays landscapes, architecture and images of children. Through the method of stained glass and European-style architecture, the works are illuminated by the light exuding from vivid colors, resulting in the effect of inviting viewers into this world.

The exhibition features drawings and images, allowing visitors to cross their own concept of time and space, rediscovering the deep connection between stars and humans.
