Two exhibitions was held at the Sogetsu Kaikan at the same time in May―the joint exhibition ‘Stone Garden: Indigo and Flowers’ by the Demura Tangasou Group was with ‘BUAISOU’, an atelier of indigo dye called Aizome, both of which have their bases in Tokushima prefecture and the special exhibition ‘Indigo and Akane’ by BUAISOU and Iemoto. The venue was thoroughly colored in indigo blue for the whole five days.
［Feature article］Arranging Colored Materials
Colored materials have a different look from their natural state. The appearance changes depending on the type of paint, its color, and the way it has been applied, which offers endless variations. Seven artists skillfully brought out the beauty of colored materials in their works.
