Seizan Gallery is thrilled to be participating in EXPO CHICAGO 2025, where they will present a dynamic group exhibition at Booth 125 featuring works by Hiroyoshi Asaka, Toshiyuki Kajioka, and Danielle Winger.  Each artist demonstrates extraordinary dedication to their chosen medium and subject, creating immersive encounters that invite viewers to contemplate time, process, and transcendence.

Hiroyoshi Asaka (b. 1977, Osaka, Japan) meticulously hand-carves marble – his sole chosen material – into uncanny sculptures resembling Styrofoam objects. By transforming a medium historically synonymous with permanence, power, and prestige into what appears as its disposable antithesis, Asaka creates a compelling dialogue between the monumental and the mundane. His KASHOUMON series prompts deeper questions about value, labor, and time.

Toshiyuki Kajioka (b. 1978, Tokyo, Japan) has devoted the past twenty years to painting a single subject: the surface of flowing rivers at night. Using only sumi ink and graphite pencil on Japanese paper, Kajioka captures water’s shifting states between wildness and tranquility, transforming fleeting moments into timeless, immersive experiences. For EXPO CHICAGO, Kajioka will present a monumental work from his signature “Waterscape” series.

Danielle Winger (b. 1986, Nevada, USA) creates contemplative landscapes with bold brushstrokes and striking colors that evoke both physical places and emotional states. Drawing inspiration from German Romantic traditions, she approaches landscape as both subject and metaphor—where mountains become paths to transcendence, deserts embody profound solitude, and moonlit forests take on human qualities. Her deeply personal meditative spaces invite viewers to explore themes of sublimity and the divine.

They look forward to seeing you in Chicago soon!
