The 12th Tokyo 8 minute exhibition, a new solo exhibition “Slowing Down and Recovery” by artist Naka Erika will be held from 2025/10/18 (Sat).

Naka was born in Komoro, Nagano. Fragments of symbols scattered throughout modern society are incorporated into paintings, and the simultaneous meanings and diachronic meanings of symbols are questioned through their reconstruction. Thick layers of acrylic paint often deviate from the artist's control and create an inevitable “gap” between it and the support. This contingency is an opportunity to visualize the arbitrariness of symbols and fluctuations in meaning. Until now, he has vigorously presented his work both domestically and internationally, and has received the CAF Shiraishi Masami Award (2018) and Wonder Seed Selection (2017).

For Naka, this exhibition is the largest exhibition in Japan so far, and it commemorates the 1st anniversary of the opening of Tokyo 8 minutes. We will mainly be presenting a group of new works that combine major works equivalent to 120 issues and new series. Furthermore, to commemorate this exhibition, exhibition commemorative goods will also be sold at the venue. I hope everyone can enjoy this exhibition.
