This event has ended.

This exhibition has an ambiguous title: “Water Series Vol. 18, 12,000 Works”. It is a startling installation of 12,000 paintings of camellias installed from the floor to the ceiling of the entire gallery.

There are 250 known varieties of camellias and, according to the Language of Flowers, Camellia means “Admiration, Perfection, Good Luck, Gift and Gratitude."” Ms. Kubo has given us 12,000 diverse versions of “Camellia Japonica”. Kubo started painting these 12,000 camellias two years ago after working with “Mizuhiki”. (Mizuhiki is an ancient Japanese artform). At the same time, she continued working on her other “Water” series and the “Whale” series. These grand themes she says ”are endless”.
