Since painting frames are difficult to obtain on the island, Emi chose discarded fusuma sliding doors as her painting surfaces. Adding layers of colour little by little each day, she covers earlier colours while leaving traces of them visible. Incorporating the wooden frames and dimensions of the fusuma into the paintings, the accumulated layers of colour and brushstrokes make the time spent creating them visible.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

PAINTING \/ SERIES<\/b><\/p>\n

Invisible Things Are Alive series \/ Emi Hirai<\/b><\/p>\n

Takamatsu Art Museum \/ Takamatsu, Japan<\/b><\/p>\n

A series of paintings Emi Hirai began during the COVID-19 pandemic, when live performances came to a halt. She has continued painting as if keeping a diary, recording the passage of time amid raising a child and everyday life.<\/p>\n

For the 2026 exhibition at Takamatsu Art Museum, she selected 60 paintings from a body of approximately 100 works. She continued painting throughout the exhibition, eventually replacing all 60 exhibited works with new paintings. Rather than simply displaying finished works, she presented the ongoing act of painting and the changing exhibition itself as part of the work.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
