TKG+ is pleased to announce its participation in the 2023 edition of Art Collaboration Kyoto (ACK). Partnering with ShugoArts, we invite artists to create under the unifying theme of circle, allowing each of their visual languages to blend. Varying sizes of round works juxtaposed in the space form a visual continuity that echoes the shape of the circle, evoking a sense of interconnectedness.
Across the cultures of ancient civilisations, the circle often symbolises the mother, and is closely associated with fertility and abundance. It has been considered a representation of life and reproduction. The circle, in the context of contemporary art, has long departed from its traditional associations, and transformed into an abstract expression of the artist's intent. Conveying a sense of infinity, the circle embodies a state of motion within stillness, inspiring the visual tension and dynamic in the works on view.
