Futagawa focuses on exploring the subtle relationship between humanity and nature, aiming to inspire viewers to explore harmonious coexistence with nature. The exhibition will additionally offer a multi-sensory engagement. We invite audiences to experience Alfie Lin’s nature aesthetics, smell the woody and earthy scent from Aesop, savor herbal teas from CNSalon, and listen to the natural sounds from Level Up Sound, a Taiwanese sound library platform. These senses will guide visitors into the tranquil and natural imagery of Futagawa’s work.

This exhibition features the “Landscape” and “Memory” series. Futagawa immerses himself in nature, capturing natural scenes from four distinct seasons in a tranquil atmosphere. In the “Landscape” series, his delicate brushstrokes depict the forest on Yakushima Island as UNESCO World Heritage Site, Mount Fuji, Oirase Gorge etc. These scenes resonate with spirituality, not merely replicating real landscapes but pursuing an aesthetic that honors the raw essence of nature.

In his recent “Memory” series, Futagawa has skillfully woven the silhouette of portraits into his landscape compositions. The figures represent wandering humanity, becoming ephemeral passersby in nature, surrounded by blooming flowers and plants, lost amid grasslands and jungles. The portrayal resembles the double exposure effect in film photography, where nature retains its innocence and tranquility before human interference, creating surreal scenes that blur the boundaries of reality and imagination.
