FROM SMALL TRIPS TO UNMAPPED JOURNEYS – KOSHIRO AKIYAMA

A quiet passage from the intimate and personal to the open and unknowable, From Small Trips to Unmapped Journeys invites viewers to drift through meditative painterly terrains, stroll through spaces where recollection becomes reverie, and inhabit worlds in which wandering itself becomes a quiet form of understanding the world.

We’re thrilled to announce our soon-to-be-live upcoming online exhibition titled FROM SMALL TRIPS TO UNMAPPED JOURNEYS, as part of our Fall/Winter 2025 exhibitions programme! This solo exhibition marks a quiet passage from the intimate and personal to the open and unknowable, inviting viewers to drift through meditative painterly terrains, stroll through spaces where recollection becomes reverie, and inhabit worlds in which wandering itself becomes a quiet form of understanding the world. Featuring Koshiro Akiyama’s dreamlike paintings, the selection of works emphasizes emotion over realism, thus aligning with a broader lineage of Expressionist painters who sought to externalize internal states rather than represent the visible world. Transforming Expressionism’s existential urgency into something quieter but no less profound, Akiyama produces a form of psychological landscape painting that turns wandering, fatigue, and contemplation into painterly emotion.

💻 Housed in a digital space designed by architects Ricardo Fornoni / @creamatelier and Cristopher Garcia / @cgstudio_3d , the resulting atmosphere blends inside and outside seamlessly, thus conversing with Akiyama’s desire to dissolve the boundaries between the personal and universal.
