kubota / yoshikawa // vibrate / still

The next exhibit in the JCCC Gallery will be vibrate / still, a two-artist exhibition featuring the work of two renowned Japanese Canadian artists, Nobuo Kubota and Akira Yoshikawa. Nobuo Kubota’s “Intermedia” pieces range from kinetic sculpture to wall-based pieces to performance art. His artistic practice grows out of the geography and culture that forms between East and West, the conceptual and representational, and sound and silence. Akira Yoshikawa is inspired by the North American minimalist approach. He states that his artworks are meant to be used as “poetic tools” to create a place to rest one’s soul, and to reflect on the inner-self. His works seek to draw the viewer into the works and ultimately to a point of stillness – meditation.
