About Olafur Eliasson

Olafur Eliasson is an Icelandic-Danish artist born in 1967.

This is said to be his first large-scale solo exhibition in Japan in 10 years ♩

One of Olafur Eliasson's famous works is this massive installation showcased in the Weather Project in 2003 (an object or device that uses the entire space).

A large, dazzling sun is recreated in the venue, making people look small in comparison *

You can see how impressive the size is when compared to the people below. It's quite powerful and incredible.......!

This work gained attention and made him a globally renowned artist.

In the cultural promotion program held alongside the London Olympics in 2012, he invented "Little Sun," a sustainable solar light.

He has created many works themed around "light" like this *

What to look for at this exhibition?

Such a highly anticipated solo exhibition of Olafur Eliasson in Japan ♩

There are several highlight pieces in this exhibition, but what particularly catches my eye is this one.

①

An object resembling a sparkling jewel, like a planet.

It's a three-dimensional work made with color effect filter glass.

The rainbow-colored light is said to draw power from the solar panels located outside the museum.

Depending on your angle and distance, you can never see the same scene twice, which is also a point to note *

②

Watercolor-like paintings, three in total *

Interestingly, this pattern is said to have been created using the ice from Greenland's glaciers.

It's amazing to see how ice can turn into such soft and cute abstract paintings.

③

Works using light and shadow *

It looks interesting that when you pose, your shadow is cast directly on the wall.

④

Circular glass panels suspended from the ceiling.

It's an artwork resembling the primary colors of light and color ♩
