Was the meeting a sign of good fortune, or the beginning of a nightmare?
People, objects, places, moments, memories — or something that cannot be named. A touch so slight it goes unnoticed at the time may turn out to be a tie that never breaks.
Following the strange threads where they twist together, Toko Okamoto paints a world of dream and waking that is fragile and tenacious at once.
We hope your meeting with this exhibition proves to be a good one.

岡本東子「隠り世」
岡本東子「隠り世」

おそらく一番身近な神域であろうお稲荷さん。
鳥居をくぐると気持ちが変わりますし、空気の違いも感じます。
信仰とは関係なく誰しも神社にお参りをしたことがあるでしょう。そしてそこには不思議な力があるんじゃないかと思ったことがあるはず。
特にお稲荷様は眷属の白狐が目を光らせていて、無礼なことをすると何か障りがあるかも…という怖さも。
でもなぜだか強く惹かれてしまいます。
薄皮一枚隔てた向こう側には、永久に変わらない神々の世界が広がっているのかも、と思うとワクワクします。(岡本東子)

Toko Okamoto
Born in Kyoto and earned a MFA degree in Japanese Style Painting from the Tokyo University of the Arts, Okamoto Toko is a Japanese painter who looks straight at the essence of what she is painting, especially the delicacy of women depicted with refinement as if you could feel the temperature, humidity and the air rising from the surface of the work, a mysterious world created by her great artistic senses. It is hard not to be captivated by her intense and amazing works.
