【Solo Exhibition】YOICHIRO ANDO “Collage”

Artist | YOICHIRO ANDO
Title | “Collage”
Dates | Friday, April 11 – Thursday, April 24, 2025
Venue | AND COLLECTION Contemporary Art

AND COLLECTION Contemporary Art is pleased to present “Collage”, a solo exhibition by contemporary artist YOICHIRO ANDO.

YOICHIRO ANDO has been creating female figures with concealed eyes—the organs that govern emotional expression. By obscuring this vital source of information, he conveys that what we see is not always the truth, and highlights the importance of focusing on the essence of things as they are, free from the preconceptions hidden in everyday life.

Titled “Collage”, this exhibition features not only the three-dimensional, graceful female figures that have long been central to ANDO’s practice, but also new works inspired by encounters across various fields, interwoven with latent motifs and given tangible form. While maintaining a firm core identity, ANDO refuses to be confined by it, instead establishing his mode of expression by collaging diverse scenes with flexible interpretation. His works also depict how serendipitous encounters hold the potential to expand perception and transform the surrounding world.

We warmly invite you to experience the originality and rich artistic vision of YOICHIRO ANDO in this exhibition.
