VOLTA Basel, 2024

At Volta 2024, Transmit Studio will present Resonance of Nature and Light, featuring Tomotoshi Hoshino, Risa Murakami, and Wakamatsu Takashi. The exhibition explores the expansion of perception and emotion through each artist’s unique approach.

In this exhibition, materials and techniques themselves serve as conduits for thought and sensation. Hoshino’s monumental folding screens depict dynamic seascapes and rock formations, Murakami’s pearl-accented works capture subtle natural shimmer, and Wakamatsu’s mixed media pieces—photographs printed on aluminum panels with intentional markings—transform material and time into expressions of beauty.

Through these works, Transmit Studio presents a space where materials, light, time, and nature intersect, offering a contemporary reinterpretation of Nihonga and mixed media, and expanding the ways viewers engage with the natural world.
