The Japanese artist Koho Mori-Newton is a master when it comes to handling silk, which he places in an exciting dialogue with architecture. In this way he creates cult-like spaces which interact with light in a fasci nating way. In addition to the works in silk, this volume also shows various graphic work groups from the last 35 years as well as the Path of Silk, created especially for no intention. Koho Mori-Newton (*1951) is a master of intentional lack of intention. His works appear simple, but the aesthetic which lies behind them is complex. Time and again he investigates the basis of art itself, questions the concept of the originality of the artistic creative process and explores the boundaries of artworks. His oeuvre lures us into a world that exists beyond the obvious. Path of Silk, a labyrinthine installation of room-high panels of silk, worked in China ink by Mori-Newton, presents a fragile interplay of space and light, of heaviness and lightness. Further areas of focus in his creative work are repetition and copy, from which his graphic works derive their own special charm.
The German-based Japanese artist Koho Mori-Newton (b. 1951) is the master of what could be called an intentional lack of intention: his works may on first glance appear simple and straightforward, but the aesthetic underlying them is exceptionally complex. This catalog for a recent exhibition at the State Textile and Industry Museum Augsburg explores an assortment of Mori-Newtons art from the past thirty-five years, highlighting the minimalist and radical core of his works.
Time and again Mori-Newton investigates the very foundation of art, questioning the concept of originality in the artistic process and testing the boundaries of artworks. His oeuvre lures viewers into a world that exists beyond the obvious. Path of Silk, for example, a labyrinthine installation of floor-to-ceiling silk panels marked with China ink, presents a fragile interplay of space and light that brings art into unexpected dialogue with architecture. Mori-Newton also experiments with repetition and the act of copying, a focus that lends his graphic pieces particular charm. Koho Mori-Newton, a visually striking celebration of the artist and his work, will appeal to all fans of Asian and contemporary art.
