Currently on view at Rat Hole Gallery, Tokyo is “Mouth Wave,” a solo exhibition of Glasgow-based artist Victoria Morton. The exhibition will present an installation of paintings and sculptural works and marks the first time for the artist’s work to be shown in Japan. Victoria Morton is known for her intricate paintings that combine multiple layers of vivid colors and delicate luminosity, together with movement, repetition, and fragmentation, to metaphorically evoke mental, emotional, and moral states. The artist also incorporates sculpture, sound, photography, and video to create installations that further expand the space of painting and draw parallels upon interdependent physical and cognitive relationships.
