Online Exposition Jigokuraku No words can fully describe the work of the Japanese painter and drawer Naoko Majima: abundant, complex, ambivalent. It was awarded the Grand Prize at the 10th Biennale of Asian Art in Dakka, Bangladesh in 2001. The expression "Jigokuraku", which the artist created by combining two opposite words: hell (jigoku) and heaven (gokuraku), offered itself quite appropriately as the exhibition’s title.
The exhibition showcases drawings, paintings and mix-media works that were created over a period of 30 years. Many of these artworks were previously exhibited in museums, especially in the two retrospective exhibitions held in 2018 at the Nagoya City Art Museum and at the Ashikaga Museum of Art in Tochigi.
