Yusuke's Solo Exhibition in Nagoya, Japan

Hi,

I had my solo exhibition in Nagoya, central Japan last week (Dec. 4th - 9th). I showed 20 oil pastel works and 9 oil paintings. Luckily 290 people visited during 6 days and 12 works out of 27 were sold (2 were not for sale). Successful? Please let me show the photographs of the show.

Entrance of the gallery room.


View from the entrance.


Daily subject section. I think most of them were posted in WC! before.


Larger ones. Mainly in oil.


Landscapes section. Early works in my African days, travel memories... etc.


A friend of mine took some pictures. Tall artist and a short visitor from their back.


Another shot from my friend. Oh, I'm always shot from behind.


Thanks for looking.

That is wonderful, thanks for sharing your show. I don't know how many artists can say they sold half the works they showed, I bet it's rare. Congratulations on the show and the sales.

Wow, Yusuke! I'd say that's definitely very successful! Having been a big fan of your work for a long time now, I can't say that I'm surprised, though; your work is unique and wonderful. A big congrats and thanks for showing us the photos.

Nice layout, and it sure sounds like you had a successful show if you sold half in just one week (next time make it a two week show!). Count me in as another fan of yours.

Yeah, having a solo show is really stimulating and encouraging.
