TRILOGY

2024

4.4 - 2.6

The “Trilogy” exhibition at Numero 51 Concept Gallery, a collaborative effort with Eunoia Gallery from Osaka, aims to explore the contemporary female artistic dynamism. 

Jazz Szu-Ying Chen, Yuka Mori, and Yuka Nishihisamatsu’s works, while deeply rooted in their respective countries’ traditions, transcend geographical boundaries to delve into universal themes such as superstition, identity, religion, and the life cycle. 

Jazz Chen weaves images from anatomical studies, Nordic and Taiwanese folklore, taking us on a journey through the grotesque and sublime, where mythological monsters and anatomical dissections blend harmoniously against backgrounds inspired by 15th-century altar pieces. Yuka Mori reinterprets traditional Japanese concepts through her painting, creating a fluid world where subject and background blur in a constant interplay between perception and reality. Lastly, Yuka Nishihisamatsu invites us to contemplate the significance of ordinary everyday objects paired with traditional Japanese items, assembling them into delicate, profound sculptures that explore and forge new connections between life, death, and rebirth, often incorporating the lotus, a symbol of purity and regeneration.

“Trilogy” aims to celebrate the diversity and connection between cultures, as well as their history and reinterpretation.
