This project involves curating an exhibition titled "Pain" and producing a companion book. The exhibition features works by six artists: Francis Bacon, Chiharu Shiota, Izumi Miyazaki, SilllDa, Rebecca Ackroyd, and Julia Soboleva. Despite their varied styles, each artist's work resonates with the theme of pain. The exhibition and book aim to present a nuanced exploration of pain, portrayed through the distinct perspectives of these artists.
PostersGiven the theme of "Pain" and the intention to showcase various forms of it, and considering that the artists hail from different countries, I utilized the word "Pain" in multiple languages to create the poster. This not only highlights the diversity of pain but also allows visitors from different countries to instantly understand the theme of the exhibition.
