Aika Furukawa: LIMINAL SPACE
ODP Galerie presents LIMINAL SPACE, a solo exhibition by Japanese artist Aika Furukawa
ODP Galerie is pleased to announce LIMINAL SPACE, a solo exhibition by Japanese artist Aika Furukawa, opening on May 2, 2025, at 7 PM. The exhibition will be on view from May 3 to June 6, 2025.
Aika Furukawa, born in Aichi, Japan, in 1982, is known for her exploration of impermanence and the subtle beauty found in everyday life. Since 2007, she has focused on the motif of "folds," using translucent linen canvases to create multidimensional installations that engage with the exhibition space. Her work invites viewers to contemplate the transient nature of existence through the ever-changing forms of fabric creases.
Furukawa's artistic journey has taken her from Tokyo University of the Arts, where she graduated in 2008, to residencies and exhibitions across Brussels, Leipzig, and Tokyo. Her work has been recognized with numerous grants and awards, including support from the Nomura Foundation, Arts Council Tokyo, and the Pola Art Foundation.
LIMINAL SPACE continues Furukawa's exploration of the ephemeral, offering a contemplative experience that blurs the boundaries between the tangible and the intangible.
