Tokyo Painting II at Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum from 24 February to 7 March 2013

Tokyo Painting II features eight young artists, including Toru Kuwakubo, past exhibitor at the Daiwa Anglo Japanese Foundation, from 24 February to 7 March 2013.

A group exhibition featuring eight young artists supported by Tokyo Wonder Site will take place at the refurbished Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum that just reopened last year.

Since 2001, Tokyo Wonder Site has been implementing a variety of programs designed to discover and foster young creators on an ongoing basis, including the TWS-Emerging exhibition in tandem with the Tokyo Wonder Wall show of works submitted from the general public, as well as artist residencies and other programs. In these ten years of activities, we have fostered a great number of artists, many of whom are now operating on an international scale. This exhibition showcases individual renditions of the mindscapes that many of these young creators have been exhibiting, by a total of eight artists ranging from those presently working in the frontlines of art, such as Toru Kuwakubo, Masaya Chiba and Tomoko Nagai, to promising young talents that have just begun to sprout.
