Japan’s doll making history and tradition originated thousands of years ago\, and although it has many already established styles\, it is her desire to create a more powerful image of the artwork\, challenges her to use various materials and non-traditional motifs. She has chosen London as a place for her next exhibition\, after a favourable reception in New York. \nAmei Sei’s painting of Ishikiri Shrine in Osaka shows the shrine in two different coexisting worlds\, a colourful and fairy-tale-like one and another more sophisticated\, down-to-earth one. Despite the seemingly conflicting styles\, both sides exist in harmony. \nArt Rates chose 11 artists to bring to London a unique group exhibition\, with the purpose of showing how artists trained in traditional Japanese arts can capture perfectly the essence of contemporary art. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/186402892278977/ \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n\n	Related\n
