Announcement of "MIO OHASHI Solo Exhibition: ZEN presented by BEAMS CULTUART"
2024.09.13

Mio Ohashi, a painter who uses the natural world as a motif to abstractly express an "ideal, beautiful world," will be holding her first solo exhibition, "MIO OHASHI Solo Exhibition: ZEN presented by BEAMS CULTUART," at B GALLERY from Friday, September 20th.
For this exhibition at B GALLERY, the artist was conscious of "Japaneseness" as the gallery is located inside BEAMS JAPAN, and created a new group of works that incorporate his own interpretation of the worldview of "wabi-sabi" and "zen."
The artist will be present in the gallery creating his work during the exhibition period.

profile
He loved drawing from an early age, and sometimes would even forego food and sleep in order to devote himself to his creations. As he continued to create art as a way of escaping the daily grind of school and work, he realized that art was an activity that helped him maintain balance.
Her outlook on life changed drastically when she became pregnant during the COVID-19 pandemic, and after experiencing how art saved her during difficult times, she decided to create art that provides positive energy and healing.
He has created various series of abstract works and delivered over 750 pieces to hotels, offices, showrooms and private residences.
The expression method of his works (color usage, brush strokes, texture) commonly expresses his ideal of a "dignified appearance" as a human being and his aesthetics. Aiming to create works that "gently embrace" the viewer, his style is characterized by a sense of warmth and softness even in its strength.
She continues to create her works with the hope that they will encourage viewers to confront their own sensibilities, recall scenes and memories that they find beautiful, and feel soothed or positive.
She gave birth to her second child in July 2022 and is currently struggling as a mother to a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old.
My dream is to lower the barrier to art and take on new challenges with "Art x ○○."
