TETSUO MIZÙ: MIZÙ
Whitestone Gallery Tokyo is pleased to announce the solo exhibition of Tetsuo Mizù.
Speaking of Mizù, his ‘flag series’ combined with the alphabets of “International maritime signal flags” spring to our mind; its unique texture derived from vivid color compositions and exquisite drawing techniques, which simultaneously hint at Japanese traditional aesthetics, has been highly acclaimed in Western art scene since 1980s.
This exhibition showcases circa 30 works reflected on the artist’s poetical sensibility to the fullest: among them, brand-new works inspired by the legendary musicians will be focused.
We sincerely look forward to welcoming you.

ARTIST

A ceramic mural from his Flag series, measuring 6 metres in height and 32 metres in width, is on display at the White Rink, the ice skating rink used during the Nagano 1998 Winter Olympics. Additionally, Mizù created stained glass for the Church of St. Anne in Lavino, Rome, as well as a floor artwork and a monument for the event hall and the VIP hall at the Toda Speedboat Race Course, respectively. In 2009, he gained further recognition for his large-scale work from the Flag series, comprising six pieces measuring 3.5 metres, which were exhibited at a venue commemorating the 150th anniversary of the opening of Yokohama Port.
