Julie Hayashi | Solo Exhibition “風声｜Fu-sei”

”Spreading washi paper across the earth, I attune my ears to the sawari — the subtle resonances of the land.
These vibrations flow through the body to the tip of the brush, merging with the natural traces left by the environment and rising onto the surface as painting.”

Julie Hayashi will hold her solo exhibition in Kyoto at Reigen-in, a sub-temple of Kennin-ji.
Her works, in which tradition and contemporary expression converge, will be presented in a special space that leads to a Zen garden symbolizing the life of the Buddha.
In this place, where one can feel the great cycle of all things, nature and humanity, past and present, quietly meet and resonate.
