√K Contemporary Presents "Kosai Hori Retrospective" An Exhibition of Hori's Early to Recent Works

SHINJUKU-KU, Japan - Feb. 8, 2021 - PRLog -- √K Contemporary (Root K Contemporary) is proud to present Hori Kosai Retrospective, an exhibition of approx. 30 of Kosai Hori's early to recent works, from February 13, 2021 (Sun) to March 6 (Sat), 2021.

Recognized for leading the liberal artistic movements of his era, Kosai Hori has immersed himself in various forms of artistic expression since the '70s. Tracing the artist's development from his early to recent career, the exhibition consists of two sections, PART I (Early to Mid-Period Paintings: 1978-1991) and PART II (Recent Paintings, The Garden of the Fall and Rebirth: 2015-2019). Exhibiting works includes those widely exhibited domestically and worldwide, as well as never-before in-Japan exhibited works.

Poetic and evocative, Hori's paintings are renowned for their strength and lyricism. Superimposing upon one another like a ritual recitation, his lines develops into an obscured, interlaced surface and, as each passing gesture embroiders the composition- the work transforms into something tranquil and pacified.

Held in conjunction with two related exhibitions, this will be the first-ever attempt to a comprehensive display of Kosai Hori's work.
