TAI Modern is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition, Tanaka Kyokusho. This will be the artist's second solo exhibition with the gallery.

Tanaka Kyokusho, one of Japan's most highly esteemed bamboo artists, presents a body of work that features elegant designs and the artist's signature palette of lustrous black and warm gold. Tanaka's work gracefully synthesizes sleek modern aesthetics with meticulous traditional craftsmanship.

A variety of minimal forms, including trays and vessels, reflect a subtle geometric impulse that is softened by supple curves and accents of dexterous plaiting. Throughout this body of work, aesthetic tension-between light and dark colors, between elegant forms and ornamental patterns-echoes the structural tension of the bamboo architecture.
