T+review

It may seem obvious, but sculptures and statues never move, and never speak (in front of us!). However, when I look at them, I can feel that they are shouting or whispering something to me. They are quietly speaking to us, the viewers.
　As I approached the gallery, I was greeted by the four faces attached to the sign, and I couldn't help but smile. I felt like I was being invited to go inside, so I went in and found many sculptures lined up in the small gallery. There is a kind of presence, a sense of "being there". It is the presence created by the size and quantity of the sculptures and statues. The gallery is filled with the presence of the works. This time, it is a group exhibition of four people, so you can see four different works by four people. Although the works were not exhibited together by artist, each one is unique and interesting in terms of the atmosphere of the work, the way the subject is perceived, and the finger marks left on the surface. Among them, I was particularly struck by Haizuka Miyuki's "Dove" and Makino Mio's "Model of the Night Sky". "Dove" would probably be hard and heavy if you actually touched it, but it felt somehow fluffy and soft, making me want to pick it up. In "Model of the Night Sky," the artist's curved back and hugging his knees is strangely sad and endearing, and it makes me feel like I want to sit next to him or hug him tightly from behind. This work is appealing to me with its whole body to do just that, absolutely.
　The volume and texture of sculptures and plastic statues, and in the case of the human body, the pose, facial expression, and gestures - all of these are directed towards the viewer. These eloquent and silent three-dimensional objects are always trying to communicate something to the viewer. I saw many sculptures and plastic statues at this exhibition, and I felt that each one of them was quietly waiting for us viewers, while hiding various things that they wanted to communicate.
