Ota Fine Arts is delighted to present Singaporean artist Guo-Liang Tan’s first solo exhibition in Japan. Tan creates abstract paintings by layering various colors of diluted acrylic paint on thin aeronautical fabric. The wooden stretcher bars, which can be observed through the translucent textile, harmonize with the layers, their shadows accentuating the light produced by the paint.

The exhibition includes large, freestanding pieces painted on both sides of the fabric. By inviting viewers to move around these works, Tan expands on the physical and conceptual space and time within and beyond the paintings.

Ota Fine Arts was established in Tokyo in 1994. The gallery represents Japanese and international artists who work in diverse mediums, from painting to installation, video, and craft. Represented artists range from the world-renowned Yayoi Kusama to emerging talents.

Ota Fine Arts opened additional spaces in Singapore in 2012 and Shanghai in 2017. Seeking to create a new context for contemporary art in the Asia Pacific that accounts for both local specificity and regional commonalities, the gallery program is also committed to showing artists from countries including China, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Singapore.
