Shu Shiro “far away -Beyond Two Forests-”

LAG is pleased to present “far away — Beyond Two Forests,” a solo exhibition by 8-year-old artist ShuShiro, from Saturday, August 23 to Saturday, September 6. This exhibition is both a publication event celebrating the release of the new art book far away (printed by LiveArtBooks) and the second chapter following the show held in July at Koichi Yamamura Gallery, now featuring a new body of work.

Delicate and, at times, bold. The animals and plants rendered in ShuShiro’s rhythmic and distinctive brushwork are born from the young artist’s daily observations and boundless curiosity. Each work carries no fixed story, and yet it is precisely this openness that awakens memories and imagination unique to each viewer.

At LAG, we have created a space where visitors can fully experience the depth of ShuShiro’s world through both paintings and the art book. We invite you to spend time with the works and discover your own landscapes and moments within them.

Shu Shiro’s exhibition, “far away” is an invitation to explore distant realms and unknown worlds. The title embodies curiosity about far-off places and the freedom of imagination. For Shu Shiro, painting and weaving stories mean stepping outside one’s own world and embarking on a journey to the “faraway places” within the heart.
