Nakanishi NatsuyukiーThe Condition of Radiance: From the Museum Collection

Nakanishi NatsuyukiーThe Condition of Radiance
From the Museum Collection

About the Exhibition

Nakanishi Natsuyuki (1935–2016), one of the most prominent painters of postwar Japan, explored the dynamic relationship between painting, space, and the body. In 2025, we mark thirty years since his first installation from the Touching Down on Land and Touching Down on Water series, a defining work from his later years, originally exhibited in the former Kamakura Museum. This exhibition features the newly acquired Perforated Screen, the second large-scale piece from the same series, alongside Two Apples, presented together for the first time. These works collectively examine the evolution of Nakanishi’s painting process, his places of creation, and his perspective on artistic practice.
