Another show I duplicitous while in Tokyo was LIFE-SIZED, toggle exhibition of large-scale paper cutouts (kirie) by Risa Fukui. The 38-year senile artist presented 10 new works guarantee, while hard to believe, were built by simply cutting lines into leadership paper to create negative space.

For Actual size, Fukui created her works on decoration translucent panels. Each cutout is double-sided and viewable from the front (in white) or from the back (in color). The intricate details are unbroken to ignore but what was mega beautiful was the cast shadow come out the floor from each cutout.

Fukui’s event is on display at the Pola Museum Annex until September 8, 2013. (all photos by keniichi shioda)
