PHYLLIS KIND GALLERY

My latest exhibition overseas took place at the PHYLLIS KIND GALLERY in New York (Gallery Director Ronald Jagger). Press releases:

"Phyllis Kind Gallery, at 136 Greene Street, New York, NY 10012, is honored to present the first American one-person exhibition of Japanese artist Hiroyuki Doi, December 14th through January 4th 2003 which will feature 30 small and large scale drawings on paper.
Born 1946 in Nagoya, Japan, Hiroyuki Doi has been working as an artist in Japan for the past thirty years. Since the death of his younger brother 20 years ago he has been working on pieces that express the transmigration of the soul, cosmos, and humancells using pen and ink on the Japanese papers called washi."
Now that we are living in the age of computerized society, I believe human work using human hands has to be emphasized more. That's one of my reasons, why I keep on working on my new works. By drawing, I startedto feel relief, at some point I started to feel that something other then my self allowed me to draw these works. Suppose every creature is a circle, which exists in this world, how many of them can I draw? That is my life work and my challenge. I have to keep on working, otherwise nothing will be brought in to existence. By drawing circles I feel I am alive and existing in the cosmos.

Repi Doll exhibition

My latest exhibition in Japan took place at the Repi Doll, Harajuku (March 1st through 31st 2005). In one of the most buzzling parts of Japan, I had the chance to present my latest works in an exciting environment. The combination of tender paintings presented in a youth-dominated, fashion-district like Harajuku, made it an very attractive exhibition place to me and my customers.
