Gallery Terra Tokyo is pleased to announce the exhibition of Kimi Sakaki for first time in a year and a half.

This exhibition comprises four paintings of “Double Standard” series and an installation.

The “Double Standard” series literally express the two aspects of things. “Individual keywords are applied in this series, and it is implications of double aspect of ‘practice and principle’ (or one’s real intention and one’s words), ‘opinion and position’, etc.,” notes Sakaki. Each work supposes the scenes of, for example, gender, politics, consumption, wars, etc. One of the four works has the title of “a play at war”, and the children playing turf battle are depicted. Other three works are titles as “fake dance”, in which children seem to be dancing but actually holding scissors in their hands in the back.

“Human beings unfairly discriminate for their own convenience depending on the occasion. However, it is all natural egos of human beings, and impossible to eliminate it no matter how you try to reduce it. This works express surface of works, conflictions of double standard, the suppressing balance, fake peacefulness, and so on,”
- Kimi Sakaki.
