JUNICHI "With the Forest" - Shape of life
Japan

With the Forest

A new work in the shape of life series, "With the Forest", has been completed at the Hishio no Sato Museum of Contemporary Art on Shodoshima Island. It will be open to the public in September 2021.

The concept of the work is that all living things are kept alive by plants and live together. The beautiful 3-meter-high goddess, almost reaching the ceiling, lives with the plants and faces the window where she feels the light of the sun.
However, the completed mural is not signed. "Because if I let the painted plants finish growing like this, it would mean the end of my flourishing." JUNICHI smiled meaningfully as he said this.
The Shodoshima Art Project will grow along with the forest over the next 10 years. Please enjoy the process of the forest's evolution each time you visit. If your timing is right, you may run into JUNICHI in the midst of his creation.

JUNICHI : contemporary artist

Based on the concept of the shape of life, Junichi Ono continues to paint his "Shape of life" series, which depicts the beautiful connection between plants and other living things. The beautiful edgy lines that extend freely like the uniqueness of plants are impressive.
Inspired by the "Statue of Liberty" in New York, which she visited when she was 6 years old, she began painting. 8 years old, she had her first solo exhibition in Osaka. 10 years old, she published her first book of works from Magazine House and held a solo exhibition at Parco in Shibuya, Tokyo. In August 2002, at the age of 12, he held a solo exhibition in New York, which was well received by New Yorkers. In February 2005, he was a supporting artist for Asia's first Special Olympics World Winter Games in Nagano, Japan. He was a Supporting Artist at the age of 15 for the Special Olympics World Winter Games in Nagano, Japan.

MOCA Hishio no Sato

As the second phase of the Shodoshima Art Project, the island's first reinforced concrete building, built 93 years ago, was transformed into a contemporary art museum in its original form. In addition to 10 original works by Keiji Uematsu, Nobuko Watanabe, Yoshinobu Nakagawa, and others, the museum exhibits a collection of 60 contemporary artworks and 40 "works related to Shodoshima.
The nearby brick warehouse was transformed into a new building (ANNEX), featuring installations by ZUGA-KURI (ZUGA Kohsaku + KURI-Eito) and Namekawa Miza.

More About Japan

The eight islands of Japan sprang into existence through Divine Intervention.The first two gods who came into existence were Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto, the Exalted Male and Exalted Female. It was their job to make the land for people to live on.They went to the bridge between heaven and earth and, using a jewel-encrusted halberd, Izanagi and Izanami churned up the sea into a frothy foam. As salty drips of water fell from the tip of the halberd the first island was formed. Its name was Onogoro.So far, so good. But when Izanagi and Izanami first met on their island, Izanami spoke to Isanagi without being spoken to first. Since she was the female, and this was improper, their first union created badly-formed offspring who were sent off into the sea in boats.The next time they met, Izanagi was sure to speak first, ensuring the proper rules were followed, and this time they produced eight children, which became the islands of Japan.I'm sure you did not fail to miss the significance of this myth for the establishment of Japanese formal society.At present, Japan is the financial capital of Asia. It has the second largest economy in the world and the largest metropolitan area (Tokyo.)Technically there are three thousand islands making up the Japanese archipelago. Izanagi and Izanami must have been busy little devils with their jewelled halberd...Japan's culture is highly technical and organized. Everything sparkles and swooshes on silent, miniaturized mechanisms.They're a world leader in robotics, and the Japanese have the longest life-expectancy on earth.Text by Steve Smith.
