Kouhei Oda Mitsugu Sato
Everyday or extraordinary scenery
2015.5.23-6.7
Living things and things that used to live intersect.
Mitsugu Sato, an artist who continues to produce using drifting objects (garbage) that arrives from daily life, and Kouhei Oda, a sect who continues to pursue beauty in the essential vitality that jumps over the concept of foliage plants centered on succulents. A unique collaboration.
Oda of Mura matches innovative works such as "Glasses bowl" where you can enjoy the appearance of plants seen through the lens of glasses and "Bowl for letting plants listen to music" where Sato's contemporary music arranged by cutting a music box is played. The mystery of plants makes you feel the story.
With Mitsugu Sato's unique sense and delicate work, the things that have finished their former roles are reborn as works of mysterious pots for mysterious plants. The act will overlap with the plants found from the aesthetic eyes of Kohei Oda, who continues to challenge new values beyond the genre of appreciating plants, and will give the viewer the energy of a powerful existence.

KOUHEI ODA
Botanical shop "Mura-Qusamura" owner / Born in Hiroshima in 1976. When I was in my twenties, I was impressed by how a flower artist worked on the space production of a select shop in Paris, where I was traveling. After returning to Japan, after training, he opened a flower shop in Hiroshima. While exploring the possibilities of plants, when I delivered them to a global art collector, I was shocked to see the damaged plants and say, "The fighting plants are beautiful." Since then, he has been active as a plant shop pursuing unique beauty based on the selection of plants that "have a good face".
