Atsuo OKAMOTO exhibition - "faraway memories" 2016

Galley IRIYA Tokyo
It passed so long time after I left my sweet home Hiroshima. Still now I get back memories of my childhood's playground and landscapes where are mountains, rivers and a wide dry riverbeds.
It is my primal landscape is printed into my deep part.
2011. We got a big earthquake and collapsed the Hukushima Nuclear Power Station. Then so many people had to leave their sweet home.
I want to make "faraway mountains" and "faraway river" when I try to feel their faraway feeling.
