The Triangle
Mitsuhashi Taku: KAWA
2026/3/10-2026/5/17
Venue [ The Triangle ]
-
Mitsuhashi Taku is an artist active in the field of nihonga. While conscious of the historical continuity within the genre of nihonga, he examines historical works and reflects his own interpretations of them in his own creations. He also pays attention to practices such as sketching and observing nature, which serve the role of “measuring the distance between oneself and objects.” Mitsuhashi creates landscape paintings that reconfigure the layered expressions of foreground, middle ground, and background, which have been a distinctive feature in the development of nihonga.
The Triangle
The Triangle (basement level of the northwest entrance, free admission) is a space newly created to mark the renewal opening of the Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art. It aims to nurture and support emerging artists, while also providing a space where visitors, including citizens and tourists, can freely engage with contemporary art. As of February 2025, the space has introduced a total of 17 emerging artists associated with Kyoto. In 2025, the following four artists will be introduced. This initiative is supported through the “Charity Auction & Gala Dinner for Kyoto City KYOCERA Museum of Art.”
