The beautiful, decorative style and imposing rebellious power can be seen from works such as Sword God, Spear God, and Japanese Spirit No.18. Tenmyouya's aesthetics of BASARA presents the dialogue between the tradition and the contemporary. BASARA is a genealogy of gorgeous and destructive beauty that is the opposite of wabi, sabi, and zen, which are the representatives of Japanese culture. BASARA was originally the social trend of the Northern and Southern dynasties in Japan it referred to a kind of rebellion in the Warring States period. BASARA CORE incorporates 'Neo-Nihonga' and 'Meta-Nihonga', taking the audience shuttle between the world and alternative dimensions of Tenmyouya Hisashi.Īs a representative of 'The Fighters', Tenmyouya has consistently depicted heroic images in the history and context of Japanese art, from the raging gods of the mythical world, armoured warriors, Edo knights, and modern Sentai heroes. The figurative and the abstract, the classic and the novel, will clash with each other, creating a space that resonates in Whitestone Taipei. This exhibition is the artist's first solo exhibition in Whitestone Taipei and is a new attempt to arrange the new 'CORE' abstract painting series in the same space together with the 'BASARA' artworks. Whitestone Gallery is honoured to present BASARA CORE: The World of Tenmyouya Hisashi. 'The 'CORE' series will dismantle the walls of BASARA world I defined.'
