SJAC (Society of Japanese and American Creators) has, since its inception in June 2017, organized and managed a number of solo and group exhibitions each year, centered around its annual exhibition.

SILENT VIOLENCE

May 5 - May 16, 2026

In his SILENT VIOLENCE series, Rikio Ohue effectively utilizes his own created original colors in forms such as deformed women, children, screaming faces, sunken eyes, and clinging animals to express feelings of anger, fear, unease, and despair that are caused by hidden violence of everyday life.
The simple imagery he seeks to express has its presence further heightened through the repetitive effects of silkscreen printing. Furthermore, by making extensive use of collage techniques, he reaches to swiftly and precisely bring vivid images to life upon the canvas.


大上 力夫 個展
大上力夫は広島市在住。1980年代から公募展・グループ展・個展など多岐にわたる場で作品を発表し、国内の公募展において数々の受賞を果たしている。個展はおもに東京で開催されているが、広島、ソウル、ハンブルク、そしていまここニューヨークでと、世界の各都市で大上独自の表現を展観している。
本展の SILENT VIOLENCE シリーズで大上は自ら生み出した独自の色彩を駆使し、デフォルメされた女性や子供、叫びをあげる顔、窪んだ眼差し、そしてしがみつく動物といったモチーフを通して、日常に潜むバイオレンスへの怒り、恐怖、不安、そして絶望といった感情を具現化。スクリーンプリントの反復効果、巧みなコラージュ技法と相まって、25点の作品群は鮮烈なメッセージを放つ。
