Shape of light
May 30 — Jun 14, 2025
UltraSuperNew will present an exhibition titled "Shape of Light | 光の姿" by contemporary abstract artist Lin Syouki, originally from China, at its alternative space KURA, located within its Shibuya, Tokyo office. The exhibition will run from Friday, May 30 to Saturday, June 14.
This eighth installment at KURA will showcase Lin’s works centered around the theme of a “dialogue of light” between the viewer and the artwork, exploring the fragility of perception and existence.
Influenced by the theory of spatialism, Lin Syouki has long focused on the interplay of perception, light, and space. Born in China and based in Tokyo since 2018, she merges geometric forms such as circles and squares with spontaneous abstract expression. Her latest works incorporate retroreflective materials, originally studied in 19th-century optical research and now commonly used in sportswear. These materials cause the artworks to shift in appearance based on the viewer’s angle and lighting, creating a continuously evolving visual experience.
An opening reception will be held on Friday, May 30, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, and all are warmly invited to attend.
In addition, UltraSuperNew will host its first-ever Supper Club on Wednesday, June 11—a unique exhibition experience where guests enjoy a curated dinner while viewing the artworks. The meal will be prepared by Hazel Nguyen, a chef who interweaves Vietnamese history and love into her cuisine, celebrating heritage and memory through food. More details will be announced soon.
