Motif by Keiko Moriuchi, The Final Gutai Member
Art Again presents Motif by Keiko Moriuchi, the Final Gutai Member.
Keiko Moriuchi (Japanese, b. 1943) was the very last member to join the Gutai Art Association (1954—1972), Japan's first radical post-war art group and movement. She remains the only member personally invited by its founder, Jirō Yoshihara, an invitation that speaks to the singularity and strength of her practice.
For decades, Sensei Moriuchi has worked with gold leaf, building layered surfaces that shift and shimmer in response to light, glowing softly by day, deepening under candlelight at night. Her paintings explore cosmic order, sacred geometry, and mathematical systems; ancient symbols are reactivated through gold, not as ornament, but as a living material.
This is Sensei's first exhibition in Singapore and Southeast Asia. Motif presents 14 works, all available for sale. The selection highlights her ongoing investigations: reflective gold surfaces that shift with the viewer's position, horizontal thread-like lines suggesting infinite space, and recurring symbols drawn from folklore and metaphysics. The result is a quiet but expansive body of work that invites sustained attention.
Visit Motif between 17 January and 1 February to witness gold leaf that prescribes vision, threads that stretch toward infinity, and an artist who, at 83, refuses to stop being born.
Exhibition Dates: 17 January – 1 February 2026
Hours: 11 AM – 7 PM daily
Location: Tokonoma, 16 Shaw Road #03-10, Singapore
目を培う目薬はない。金を見ることで、健全な宇宙が見えてくる。
There is no remedy to awaken the eyes. To gaze upon the universe, you need to fix your eyes on gold.
