Advocating freedom, respecting individuality: Annual art exhibition opens in Niigata City (Niigata News NST)
Summary
An annual art exhibition organized by the Nikaten Niigata Branch, an art group that advocates freedom for artists and respects individuality, opened in Niigata City. The venue displays over 60 works, including sculptures and paintings. Notable pieces include "Iro wa Nioedo" by Naruo Murayama, a painting that delicately expresses surging energy and offers different interpretations depending on the viewer, and "Anata" by Daiki Kuwahara, a sculpture that won the NST Award and features a modern atmosphere with inventive facial composition. Toyoaki Kakutani, the branch's secretary-general, said, "I would be happy if people feel abstract works as abstract and concrete works as concrete, just as they think." The exhibition runs until October 10.
