I showed artworks at the RenovArt | Flowing Identities exhibition, hosted by ApuliaAste, and held at the Lega Navale Italiana Sezione di Matera - Magna Grecia, in Matera, Italy.
RenovArt is a curation project dedicated to gathering the greatest artistic talent, domestic and worldwide. Thanks to the efforts of the art historian Carmela Loiacono, this project is held to advance the development of modern art and enhance knowledge, as demonstrated through the regeneration and promotion of homegrown and international artists.
At this enormous turning point for this era, our generation must build a foundation where life can proceed in peace and happiness, where the children who will give birth to our future can grow up together with blessed joy.
​​​​​​​I am proud to be invited from Japan and given the opportunity to participate in this honored exhibition. For that, I give my most heartfelt thanks.

Flowing Identities is a itinerant exhibition based on the fluidity of life, compared to the flow of a river, as like a primary source of existence, symbol of rebirth and purification. Water is a liquid element, adaptable, receptive, able to shape the territory, as well as the experiences of daily life characterize the personality of the human being. The exhibition allows anyone to approach the world of Contemporary Art with a broader and fluid vision, able to understand every facet of the artworks, as a result of thoughts, emotions, moods and experiences of artists presented in a place where there is a strong connection between water and land.
Kuan Yin Bodhisattva / 救世菩薩 by Masaki Hirokawa / 廣川政樹

This artwork was created as a prayer to the Buddhist Kannon Bodhisattva (Bosatsu) for peace to come to the hearts of humankind. Buddhism exists in a realm which transcends philosophy and science, and the gods and Buddha exist beyond time and space. Rather than describe this artwork as being imbued with a prayer, I say that I created it from a single, pure wish, a prayer that the Bodhisattva could manifest within this world.

仏教の観世音菩薩へ人々の心の平安を祈念し制作された作品です。仏教は哲学も科学も超越した領域にあり、神仏は時空を超えて存在します。この作品には祈りが込められていると言い表すより、この世界へ菩薩の顕現を祈念し、純粋な願い一つから制作されました。
Karma / 業 by Masaki Hirokawa / 廣川政樹
Karma / 業
Sep 2021 / 100 x 100 cm

The depth of human karma, the amount of things we learn every day, and the burden we carry on our own shoulders are unbearable, but we can only look at the darkness under our feet and move forward, one step at a time.

人の業の深さに、日々学ぶことの多さに、自ら背負った重荷に耐え難きものを感じながらも、ただ足元の暗がりだけを見据え、一歩ずつ前へと歩を進めるのみ。
