With a strong belief that her role is to connect the invisible with the visible world through art, contemporary artist Miwa Komatsu continues to depict otherworldly creatures. People can¡¯t help but be intrigued by the powerful and colorful images of seemingly frightening, yet strangely charming, creatures as if they directly ¡°talk¡± to viewers¡¯ souls.
¡°I believe that I¡¯ve got opportunities to show my works to many people because that¡¯s the role I should play in the world,¡± Komatsu said.
Through April 28, ¡°Miwa Komatsu: Divine Spirit¡± at the Whitestone Gallery Hong Kong, in the city¡¯s iconic art and lifestyle center H Queen¡¯s, presents the artist¡¯s latest works. These include acrylic and mixed-media paintings, scroll paintings on traditional Japanese Hakata-ori textile and painted komainu (guardian lion-dog) sculptures.
