Kimura Ryugu Exhibition Wednesday, March 7th - Wednesday, March 28th, 2007 Reception: Friday, March 9th, 5 － 7:30pm The March exhibition at NY Coo Gallery features Ryugu Kimura and his suibokuga (paintings in sumi-ink). Ryugu Kimura’s suibokuga expresses life’s happiness and sorrow. Born in 1933 in Gifu prefecture, Mr. Kimura grew up midst of heavy U.S. air raids during World War II. After the war, he became a successful businessman to help Japan’s quick rise from ashes. Having seen and experienced unjust realities of the world, Mr. Kimura turned his attention to nature in search of the meaning of truly “rich” life. His landscape paintings represent deep human consciousness. Hinting subtle but unmistakable characteristics of Mr. Kimura’s style, the paintings of landscapes and great relics of the world are transformed into “healing art.” In 2005, Mr. Kimura became a multiple-award winner by collecting World Educational Art Grand Prize, Artistic Merit Award and Most－Recommended Artist Award selected by the A.M.S.C Spanish Headquarter (Sponsored by Fundacion Amigos Del Museo Prado). Mr. Kimura was also the winner of prestigious International Cultural Exchange Special Award in 2001. “Money is important. Richness of heart and mind is even more important. A view that heals you is where your heart belongs. I want to create paintings that move people. It’d be best if I could paint with heart, not logic,” says Mr. Kimura who also believes that the image of healing that is programmed into his DNA is what powers his creative activities. It is important for an artist like Mr. Kimura to have exhibitions in New York where people who have left their homes and families behind gather. Mr. Kimura’s paintings reflect the warmth of “sweet old home” that we long for RYUGU KIMURA Member of － Sesshu International Art Association (1999~) Fundacion Amigos Del Museo Prado (2003~) National Suibokuga Art Association (2003~) International Exhibitions － France (Paris), Egypt (Cairo), Singapore, Monaco, New York City
