This exhibition was devoted exclusively to the fields of painting and sculpture and was organized in three successive phases, each featuring ten artists, for a total of thirty contemporary Japanese artists.
The first phase, Surface: Incorporating Contradictions; the second, Image: The Reincarnation of Meaning; and the third, Landscape: Transformation of Topologies, each focused on a distinct phenomenon. The exhibition approached “seeing” as a creative process in which diverse forms of consciousness and emotion intersect, and was therefore given the title Allegory.
Among the participating artists, works by Toeko Tatsuno, Kazumi Nakamura, Yukie Ishikawa, Yuji Akatsuka, Kenjiro Okazaki, Makoto Ito, and Masato Kobayashi are held in the collection of Sezon Museum of Modern Art.
