KANAKO OZAWA: Dorothy Circus Gallery London | Solo Exhibition

4 - 30 Apr 2025

DCG London is excited to introduce the innovative work of Kanako Ozawa, whose art fluidly transitions between canvas and sculpture. Ozawa’s versatile technique challenges the conventional boundaries of artistic mediums and time itself, as she revisits and reshapes her memories into tangible expressions. Her work, characterized by a soft white palette, masterfully conveys depth and motion, capturing both the ephemeral and the eternal. Ozawa’s ability to move seamlessly between two-dimensional and three-dimensional forms showcases her profound grasp of material and form, offering viewers a glimpse into her enchanting artistic universe.

Ozawa’s faceless, spirit-like figures serve as universal representations of the complexities of human existence, enveloped in a quiet, enigmatic mystery. These figures reflect the paradox of life—its delicate beauty and the inherent tension between the weight of being and the lightness of existence. Through these forms, Ozawa portrays life not as a fixed state but as a dynamic and evolving journey, highlighting the fluidity of existence.

The strange, ambiguous presence of Ozawa’s figures, with their playful yet serious demeanor, invites viewers to embrace the uncertainties of life and its ever-changing shape, giving meaning to the very act of living. Ozawa’s art offers a space where existence is celebrated in all its simplicity, inviting viewers to find solace in life’s fleeting, yet infinite nature of our shared human experience. 

This exhibition offers a window into Ozawa’s world—a place where the human condition is observed with a tender, affectionate gaze. Her art invites us to rediscover life’s inherent beauty, reminding us of the importance of wonder, empathy, and the simple joy of being.
