Solo Exhibition at My Atelier * Qi<\/h1>\n

I am pleased to announce that the exhibition has successfully concluded!
\n(Dates: April 1, 2023 \u2013 April 15, 2023)<\/p>\n

Art Solo Exhibition \u201cQi\u201d | Atelier U+Me | The artist\u2019s own DIY atelier | Kota | Oneness Artist<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To everyone who visited, made the effort to come,
\nand spent such wonderful time together with me\u2014
\nthank you from the bottom of my heart!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am deeply grateful for the connections I have with all of you.
\nDespite the ultra-closed nature of the event,
\nwith a reservation-only and undisclosed location,
\nI was truly blessed to welcome approximately 60 visitors.
\n(This includes five repeat visitors.)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Amazingly, the average stay time was
\nthree hours per person!
\nThank you for taking the time to deeply and patiently
\nengage with the artwork.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Through the highly abstract medium of painting,
\nI feel that each person quietly received
\ntheir own unique message.
\nI would be delighted if you could treasure
\nthose messages.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I also hope that, from time to time,
\nyou\u2019ll recall the mysterious sensations
\nyou felt in front of the paintings
\nand the atmosphere of the atelier,
\nwrapped in its energy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For myself, personally,
\nbeing able to witness everyone
\nsurrounded by the \u201cQi\u201d of the artworks and the space,
\nhealed and re-energized before leaving,
\nwas profoundly meaningful.
\nThank you so much!<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s meet again when the opportunity arises!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Below, I\u2019ve shared some photos and feedback
\nfrom the event.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For those who were unable to attend,
\nI hope this will help convey even a bit of the atmosphere.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Additionally, the words shared by those who fully received
\nthe \u201cQi\u201d from the artworks at the venue
\ncarry a rich energy themselves.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Simply reading them brings a sense of purification and comfort,
\nso I hope you\u2019ll take the time to read them leisurely
\nwhen you have a moment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

 <\/p>\n

\u25a0Feedback<\/strong><\/p>\n

The message from Kota, \"Everyone is connected,\"<\/p>\n

especially resonated with me.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As I walked around the artwork,<\/p>\n

I felt a sense of comfort.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Everyone has a place to return to,\"<\/p>\n

\"Everyone is being supported,\"<\/p>\n

In our journey, it feels like<\/p>\n

everyone ends up at the same destination...<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the end of the journey, we all gather together<\/p>\n

and say, \"I saw such amazing things,\"<\/p>\n

\"I had such wonderful experiences,\"<\/p>\n

and I felt like that's why we live\u2014<\/p>\n

to enjoy those conversations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It was a wonderful experience!<\/p>\n

Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

The deep, quiet, indescribable comfort of being alone on the beach.<\/p>\n

As if gazing at the sky and sea,<\/p>\n

being drawn into the flow and radiance of colors<\/p>\n

from various distances and angles,<\/p>\n

becoming calm and gentle.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The work reminds me of \"Echo\" (2022),<\/a><\/p>\n

and the piece from 2023,<\/p>\n

\"Sunrise\"<\/a> with the sun rising in the sea and sky.<\/p>\n

I feel blessed to encounter these works<\/p>\n

that will remain in my memory forever.<\/p>\n

\"Sunrise\"<\/a> conveyed love, light,<\/p>\n

and a message of \"It's okay to just be yourself\" \u2661<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are one,<\/p>\n

we are connected, and we are alive,<\/p>\n

Kota's thoughts and soul came through each work of art.<\/p>\n

I felt healed, became sleepy,<\/p>\n

and received many wonderful inspirations, such as from flowers and shrines.<\/p>\n

I personally really liked the moon-themed piece (Light Waves)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While sitting and looking at the work, I felt as though I was being drawn into it,<\/p>\n

and it was the kind of piece that made me want to keep looking at it.<\/p>\n

When I turned off the lights and viewed the piece with just a light source,<\/p>\n

it felt more than just a painting,<\/p>\n

almost like a kind of installation art,<\/p>\n

which I found interesting.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The exhibition space itself, with its focus on lighting and fragrance,<\/p>\n

was a wonderful environment.<\/p>\n

Seeing the works in person is completely different from viewing them on Instagram.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The three-dimensionality and lighting of each piece,<\/p>\n

the fine details, the titles and descriptions,<\/p>\n

the relationship between the works,<\/p>\n

the sounds heard in the atelier, the atmosphere,<\/p>\n

and the artist\u2019s words...<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Everything is connected and influences each other,<\/p>\n

and the more time you spend observing, the more your perception shifts,<\/p>\n

allowing you to dive deeper into the experience.<\/p>\n

(Second visit)<\/p>\n

The first time, I visited during a sunny afternoon, and the warmth of the day made me feel strongly moved by the beauty, warmth, and nostalgia.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But today, on a rainy evening, the beauty was accompanied by a sense of transience and clarity, which gave me a completely different kind of emotional response.<\/p>\n

I would definitely love to visit again if another event is planned!<\/p>\n

It's clear that he knows some wonderful words.<\/p>\n

There are not just similar types of artwork,<\/p>\n

but a variety of styles,<\/p>\n

and as I kept looking, I thought, \"This one is nice, and that one too.\"<\/p>\n

Some motifs that I didn't notice at first are hidden within the works,<\/p>\n

and I found that very interesting!<\/p>\n

Kota, who I connected with on Instagram!<\/p>\n

Coincidentally... just a few days after connecting,<\/p>\n

the timing of the exhibition began.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There was the joy of encountering the real artwork, but...<\/p>\n

Art is all about people.<\/p>\n

While reflecting on that,<\/p>\n

I was able to savor each piece.<\/p>\n

It was a great gain to also experience Kota's personality,<\/p>\n

It was an exhibition where, rather than just looking at the painting in front of me,<\/p>\n

I had the sensation of looking beyond the painting, into what lies ahead.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And instead of leading to an end,<\/p>\n

it feels connected to the future...<\/p>\n

A quiet,<\/p>\n

yet certain energy emanated from the pieces,<\/p>\n

and inside the atelier, I felt a warm sense of peace.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I received a postcard, but...<\/p>\n

Hmm, it's not quite the same.<\/p>\n

I am so glad to have seen the real thing this time.<\/p>\n

along with elements from indigenous faith, the unity of living beings with nature,<\/p>\n

and I made new discoveries.<\/p>\n

Once again, I felt my heart being cleansed, surrounded by a pleasant space and<\/p>\n

wonderful works of art,<\/p>\n

and I was completely healed.<\/p>\n

The painting inspired by 'The Alchemist'<\/a> and<\/p>\n

The Abyss<\/a> were especially great.<\/p>\n

I would love to attend the next exhibition if there is one.<\/p>\n

Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

Since it\u2019s a time of many changes,<\/p>\n

The painting with change as a theme<\/a> caught my attention.<\/p>\n

The painting beautifully portrayed the uncertainty of change, yet also conveyed hope and warmth, which made me feel very comfortable.<\/p>\n

And knowing that it was created from personal experience made it even more powerful and meaningful.<\/p>\n

It was great to share a moment of celebration together, and the energy in the space was uplifting.<\/p>\n

Through the paintings, I could feel Kota-san's world and its evolution,<\/p>\n

and it was a truly beautiful collection of works.<\/p>\n

Additionally, there were parts of his worldview that resonated with my own,<\/p>\n

which made it even more personal and relatable for me.<\/p>\n

Thank you for such an inspiring time.<\/p>\n

I look forward to seeing more of your works!^^<\/p>\n

When I came to the previous exhibition, I became fond of the piece Dream<\/a>. Now that the location has changed,<\/p>\n

and the information entering my eyes has shifted,<\/p>\n

I had a different impression this time.<\/p>\n

Perhaps due to the psychological influence of that moment,<\/p>\n

I found \"Calm\"<\/a> to be my favorite piece this time.<\/p>\n

The artwork that has stayed with me the most<\/p>\n

\"The Other Side\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was told that it is one of Kota-san's early works,<\/p>\n

and hearing that it was the work that inspired him to become an artist<\/p>\n

made it even more captivating.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know much about art, but<\/p>\n

the colors and atmosphere are wonderful.<\/p>\n

A space so relaxing that it made me want to stay there forever.<\/p>\n

After talking to the artist, there were a lot of similar views that we shared of this allowed me be inspired of striving for greater mastery.<\/p>\n

Finally, a story from the night after the exhibition ended.<\/p>\n

While heading to the after-party, I found myself gazing out the window of the bus, drifting in thought.<\/p>\n

The streets passing by, lit by various city lights, were glistening with the rain, creating beautiful reflections in every direction.<\/p>\n

I thought to myself, \u201cI\u2019m so glad I held this solo exhibition.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so glad I paint.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you, world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you, everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you, me\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

I had put in an immense amount of energy and time preparing for this.<\/p>\n

Not just producing a large number of artworks, but even spending a year to create the studio itself.<\/p>\n

I dedicated myself to countless tasks, including managing the website and social media.<\/p>\n

And finally, the exhibition happened.<\/p>\n

I met so many wonderful people.<\/p>\n

Even people who didn\u2019t know each other found themselves connected through the exhibition in mysterious ways.<\/p>\n

I was happy to bring joy to others.<\/p>\n

And now, it\u2019s over.<\/p>\n

It feels like it was long but also so short\u2026<\/p>\n

As I thought about it, tears began to form naturally.<\/p>\n

I knew.<\/p>\n

That where there is a beginning,<\/p>\n

there is also an end.<\/p>\n

Everything is two sides of the same coin.<\/p>\n

And,<\/p>\n

where there is an end,<\/p>\n

there is always a new beginning.<\/p>\n

So, an ending is,<\/p>\n

at the same time,<\/p>\n

the start of something new.<\/p>\n

I closed my eyes,<\/p>\n

took a deep, slow breath.<\/p>\n

Quietly,<\/p>\n

I asked myself,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Alright,<\/p>\n

what shall I do next?<\/p>\n
