Date: 
Thursday, 15 February 2018 to Friday, 9 March 2018

In 2018 Japanese artist Setsuko Ono will bring her work to London for the first time. The exhibition will include both sculpture and mixed media paintings, and visitors will be able to view Setsuko’s permanent installations at Hara Museum in central Tokyo, and Hara Museum ARC in Shinagawa, Japan, using virtual reality goggles.

Setsuko creates steel sculptures characterised by their cut-out shapes, forming opened and closed figures and designs that integrate into the outdoors. The cut-out silhouettes are bent in an animated way, while the cut out negative lets the sunlight and views of nature through. The delicate, cut out sculptures are created from sheets of steel, which are welded by Setsuko, while her mixed media paintings reflect her interest in international politics.
